Playa Principal, also known as Playa Las Terrazas, is the main beach in the coastal town of Pichilemu, the capital of the Cardenal Caro Province in Chile's O'Higgins Region. This expansive dark sand beach fronts Ross Park and is a central hub for tourism and recreation. While famously popular for surfing, with several surf schools located nearby, the beach and the broader Pichilemu coastline also offer opportunities for shore-based fishing. The water remains cool throughout the year, and the area is the principal resort destination for the central zone of Chile.
