Playa El Teniente
Playa El Teniente is a Coquimbo Region reef peak south of Playa Locayo, where long right-hand walls show on the high tide and the lineup usually stays empty. It reads more like a tucked-away rock reef check than a marquee town beach, and the point keeps its own scale even when the surf is up.

Lineup Guide
Rock-close entries and exits matter, the line is reef-driven rather than beachy, and the spot stays quiet enough that size is often less of a limiter than timing.
Respect the local peak and watch for submerged hazards during lower tidal stages.
