Caleta Portales is a traditional artisanal fishing port and beach located in the Provincia de Valparaíso, Chile. It is a working caleta, a term for a small coastal inlet or landing place vital to local fishing communities. The area is characterized by its active fishing operations, where visitors can observe typical artisanal fishing vessels and the daily faenas, or labors, of the fishermen. The site includes a restaurant and is known for its fresh seafood, with the added attraction of observing local marine wildlife like sea lions and pelicans. As a coastal fishing destination, it offers opportunities for shore-based angling along its explanada and adjacent rocky and sandy areas facing the Pacific Ocean.
