Acapulco Beach

Acapulco Beach in Antofagasta, Chile is a beginner-friendly shore dive along the arid Pacific coast of northern Chile. The rocky coastline gives way to a sandy bottom where the cold Humboldt Current brings nutrient-rich waters supporting diverse marine life. Divers can observe sea urchins, colorful starfish, and schools of small fish among the kelp and rocky formations. The sheltered beach provides easy entry, making it an ideal introduction to the unique cold-water Pacific ecosystems of the Atacama coast.
