Concon: Playa La Boca Concón
Concón has served as a coastal settlement in Chile’s Valparaíso Region since pre-Hispanic times. Playa La Boca lies at the mouth of the Aconcagua River, where it reaches the Pacific Ocean on the northern edge of the city. The beach is a longstanding focal point for surfing and other board sports, while the river mouth and shore form part of a wider coastal zone of dunes, rocky headlands and urban beaches. Concón is also closely associated with Chilean seaside dining: seafood restaurants along its coast draw on the fishing traditions of this stretch of shoreline. To the south, Viña del Mar links Concón with the metropolitan coast around Valparaíso.

Built around the Aconcagua River’s Pacific mouth, Concón grew into a coastal city on Chile’s central shore, immediately north of Viña del Mar. Long beaches meet the Campo Dunar de la Punta de Concón, a protected dune field whose sands rise above the oceanfront and set this stretch apart from the denser resort districts nearby. The river estuary is an important habitat for waterbirds, while Caleta Higuerillas connects the city with fishing and seafood cooking. Concón also lends its name to the Battle of Concón, fought here in 1891 during Chile’s Civil War.
