Fishing near Coquimbo, Coquimbo

Coquimbo sits on the Pacific coast of Chile's Coquimbo Region, where the ocean has long defined daily life. The city's port and surrounding coastline draw recreational anglers fishing from shore, boats, and charter vessels, while the nearby Río Elqui and Río Limarí provide freshwater options inland. Charter operations run out of the area for offshore saltwater fishing, and the coast is known for its active sea lion population, which shares the same waters as local anglers.
