El Laucho: is the most
advisable beach for the turist, with moderated amounts of
people, a sure area to swim (and other not so sure if you
dare) and good sand is a nice place to relax. If you want
to get wet, I advise to enter by the left corner of the
beach, because in all other the floor is rocky. Its also
the beach where.the nicest girls ("minas" in
spanish lingo) go, and if you are assertive enough, sure
will find someone who speak (or try to, as me) english.
If no one understand you, body language also goes.
The best and nicest
beach in Arica is La Lisera, but the problem is
the crowd of people who goes there. When is empty (at
morning and usually short past lunch) is a nice place;
the best sand and a clear lake-like swiming area, anyway
if you dont matter multitudes, go there and enyoy at any
hour. Ah! and this beach is special to swim at nigth in
summer due its warm waters.
If you love the long, long beaches,
sure will enjoy Balneario Chinchorro, there are several
miles of beach, when you can enter hundred of meters with
water not up your shoulders, moderated to strong waves
are ideal for surf beginners and windsurfing, which you
can rent in the same beach. In Chinchorro you can see at
simple look the turn of South America in the frontier
between Chile and Perú.
