Playa La Liserilla, Pacific beach in Arica y Parinacota Region, Chile.
This beach sits along the Pacific coast bordered by tall cliffs that create a natural boundary. The water is clear and the shoreline features a mix of sand and rocky sections typical of northern Chilean beaches.
This area has been a fishing ground since ancient times, with evidence of human activity stretching back centuries. The coastal region became a hub for maritime communities that shaped northern Chile's development.
The beach lies south of Arica's urban area and is reached on foot along Avenida Comandante San Martín, then between cliffs. Camping is allowed here, so visitors stay overnight on a shore with no facilities. The name La Liserilla is used locally for this stretch of the Pacific coast.
Access is on foot only, via Avenida Comandante San Martín to the south; the beach lies between cliffs south of Arica's urban area, so no vehicle reaches it. There are no facilities, so carry in your own water and food.
