Cachagua is a serene coastal village just north of Zapallar, known for its wide beaches, low-key atmosphere, and family-friendly vibe. With its protected natural reserve — including the islet of Cachagua, home to penguins and sea lions — the area promotes conservation and harmony with nature. The beaches here are ideal for long walks, bodyboarding, and lazy afternoons under the sun.
Unlike more developed resorts, Cachagua has preserved its original charm, with no high-rises or large commercial zones. It’s a favorite among Chilean families who return year after year to their beach homes, keeping the community close-knit and respectful of its environment. It’s a wonderful option for second-home ownership rooted in tradition, relaxation, and understated coastal beauty.
