Concón covers an area of 76km and sits at 230 metres above sea level. The current population is 32,273 people.

Concón benefits from a Western Temperate Climate which is denoted by the cold marine currents which lap against the shore line and the winds from the sea which moderate the temperature. As such, the temperature is largely similar throughout the year with moderate rainfall in the winter and drought in the summer. The average temperature in summer is 20° C and 15° C in winter.

The Waterfront (El Borde Costero)

This road connects the beach towns of Concón and Reñaca. Construction began in 1917 and the road was finally available for public use in 1921.
