Playa Chica in Cartagena, Chile, is a charming beach nestled along the central coast in the Valparaíso Region. Once a favorite retreat of early 20th-century aristocracy, it lies in a natural amphitheater shaped by surrounding hills covered with historic seaside homes and hotels.
The real-time stream reveals daily moments: from early morning joggers and locals strolling along La Terraza pedestrian promenade to families enjoying the water and boat activity. Often, you might catch surfers testing modest swells — around 0.7–1.1 meters — with occasional lifeguards adding to the safe, accessible vibe.
Local gastronomy enhances the scene. On-camera, you can spot beachside kiosks offering fresh seafood and empanadas, just steps away from accommodations ranging from charming B&Bs to historic guesthouses that line the hill .
Behind Playa Chica are hillside landmarks like antiga mansions, the Vicente Huidobro museum, and the fabled “devil’s church”, all part of a built heritage protected since 1999.
