Playa Piqueros is a beach located on the coast of the Atacama region in northern Chile, situated between the cities of Taltal and Chañaral. It lies within the boundaries of Pan de Azúcar National Park, a protected area known for its rugged coastal desert scenery. The beach itself is part of a national park system, with the park's Information Center located directly opposite the beach, approximately 10 kilometers north of the park's southern entrance. The coastal geography and marine currents here are significant, creating conditions where the beaches are authorized for sunbathing but are officially declared unsuitable for swimming due to safety concerns. The environment is characterized by a variable coastal desert climate, where afternoons can become cool and overcast, requiring layered clothing.
