The main attractions at Concón are the San Pedro and Higuerillas fishermen’s cove, the impressive Campo Dunar –declared Nature Sanctuary for having such important archeological heritage-, the coast border that joins the city with Reñaca, the vantage point known as Roca Oceánica, which is a large rocky headland getting into the Pacific, very attractive to the sight, and also the Aconcagua River marshlands, dwelled by birds and toured on horseback.

The most outstanding beaches include La Boca, ideal for surfing, bodyboarding and fishing; Amarilla, with excellent sand and quiet swell, ideal for bathing; Negra, a safe beach for children due to the soft undulation into the sea; and Bahamas, ideal for sunbathing, windsurfing and bodyboarding.
