A short walking distance from the center of town and at the base of El Morro is one of Arica’s most popular beaches. Playa el Laucho’s Pacific shoreline is protected by a kidney-shaped cove. It is a perfect place to stick your colorful umbrella into the sand and enjoy your day by swimming and sunning. Other nearby beaches to consider are Playa La Lisera, Playa Chinchorro, Playa Brava and Playa Los Corazones. For something a bit different, enjoy the dark sand at Playa Arenillas Negra.
