Viña del Mar’s Beaches
Playa Caleta Abarca
The beach at Abarca Cove is very popular and is the most central. At the southerly end of this enclosed bay lies Cerro Recreo where “la Iglesia y el Covento de los Capuchinos” sits on a cliff top; Hotel Miramar is located to the north and behind the bay there are many beautiful buildings located on Cerro Castillo. There are some nice parks nearby.
Playa Miramar (AKA Playa de Los Artistas)
This was the only beach on the bay in use at the start of the century and was where Dr Von Schroeders founded his therapeutic baths (Baños el Doctor Von Schroeders). The beach has been being eroded away by the ocean since 1935 when the construction of a breakwater in Valparaiso changed the direction of the currents.
