Tomé, Coastal port city in Biobío Region, Chile

Located along the Pacific Ocean, Tomé stretches across 494 square kilometers of land, featuring both urban developments and natural coastal landscapes at 12 meters elevation.

The establishment of Tomé in 1544 marked the beginning of Spanish colonial influence in the region, leading to its development as a significant maritime settlement.

Local festivals throughout the year showcase regional traditions, while the textile manufacturing heritage remains visible in the architectural elements of former factory buildings.

The municipality provides numerous accommodation options near the beach, with easy connections to neighboring Concepción and direct access to Pacific Ocean activities.

The 2010 earthquake measuring 8.8 magnitude transformed parts of the city, resulting in renewed infrastructure and modified coastal defenses along the Pacific shore.
