Playa Antofagasta is a prominent urban beach located within the city of Antofagasta in northern Chile's Antofagasta Region. This coastal area fronts the Pacific Ocean and is situated within the arid Atacama Desert region, characterized by its industrial city backdrop and expansive ocean views. The beach serves as a focal point for shore-based sport fishing, offering anglers the opportunity to fish directly from the sand. Its location within the city provides relatively convenient access compared to more remote coastal spots in the region, making it a practical destination for both local and visiting anglers looking to cast a line into the productive waters of the Humboldt Current.
