Fodor's Expert Review Playa Grande
Algarrobo
Beach
The beige sand of this nice beach stretches northward from town for several miles. The surf is usually rough—though beautiful—and therefore not apt for swimming. It's a great place for a long walk on the beach, and you'll often see people fishing. Massive condominium complexes scattered along the beach spill hundreds of vacationers onto it every summer. Amenities: food and drink. Best for: sunset; walking.
