My favourite beach

I really haven't a favourite beach; I can't make a hierarchy to say wich of them I love more, almost all have something special and unique to me.
I will talk about my favourite beaches: In the south of Chile, I love the coast from La araucanía. It's a cloudy coast full of beaches. The sea turns in an emotive black tone: cold, deep, angry, huge... the landscape calls to reflect a lot and that is what i do when i go there: sit, watch to the sea and think a lot of things.
In the Central zone I love the mediterranean weather and all kind of beaches: rocky beaches, soft sand beaches and the cliffs... so you can walk in the rocky beaches (like Punta de tralca) and look for crabs, snails, pretty rocks (I really love to do this), and so on... you can also walk between one beach and other. In soft sand beaches (like El canelo) I preffer to swimming and make "playita" in the waves. It's very fun. You can enjoy a lot sitting on a cliff (a little dangerous but nice) and looking to the sunset or the wide sea.
More to the north the beaches have soft sand, warmer waters and higher waves (Like beach "Socos" in Tongoy or beach "Cabancha" far to the north in Iquique), so I preffer to swimm a lot, make playita, do bodyboard and this kind of things, or taking sun talking with friends or reading something interesting.
I can't say how often i go to these beaches I mentioned, but I can say that I go almost every summer to the beach, it depends on the vacations plan that I make with my friends.
The last time, this summer, I went to "playa socos" and "playa grande", in Tongoy town.

  2. Playita is when you put you under the plunge of the wave, so you get ride swiftly above the wave swash. It's very fun!
