Nudity Policy
OPTIONALClothing optional (officially recognized naturist beach)
The Good
- Chile’s most famous naturist beach: Often described as the country’s primary and most established nude beach, with a long-standing community.
- Beautiful natural setting: Dramatic cliffs, open Pacific views, and a peaceful, undeveloped shoreline create a scenic escape.
- Respectful atmosphere: Visitors commonly report a relaxed, family-friendly naturist environment with good etiquette.
- Clean sand and water: The beach itself is generally well-kept despite the lack of services.
- Quiet during weekdays: The effort required to reach it naturally limits crowds, especially outside weekends.
- Coastal hiking option: Adventurous visitors can walk along the coast from Horcón harbor at low tide for a scenic approach.
The Bad
- Challenging access: Expect a 20–30 minute walk with stairs, hills, and uneven terrain from parking areas.
- No shade at all: There are no natural shelters, so sun protection is essential.
- No facilities: No toilets, food, or shops anywhere nearby.
- Parking fees and security concerns: Private access roads require payment, and occasional reports of vehicle break-ins exist.
- Jellyfish presence: Some visitors report frequent jellyfish in the water depending on season.
- Slippery paths: The descent trail can be unstable, especially after rain.
The Naked Truth
Playa Luna is widely considered Chile’s only true naturist beach, and the clothing-optional culture here is well established. Families, couples, and solo visitors all share the space, and the overall atmosphere is typically respectful rather than party-oriented. While nudity is common, you may still see clothed walkers passing through occasionally, particularly near access points.
The remoteness adds privacy but also means you must be fully prepared for the day. Bring everything you need, including water, food, and shade. If you walk farther along the beach away from the main entrance, you’ll find even quieter areas with more personal space.
Insider Tip
Bring an umbrella or portable shade; the sun exposure here is intense and there is absolutely no natural cover.
Who's Here
Naturist families, couples, locals from Santiago and Valparaíso regions, hikers, and curious first-time nudists.
Beach Surface
Soft sand mixed with small stones in places, with Pacific surf that can vary from calm to rough depending on conditions.

Getting There
Playa Luna is located near Horcón, in the Quintero municipality of central Chile, north of Valparaíso.
By Car: Search “Acceso Estacionamiento Playa Luna” in Google Maps. You’ll reach a gated private road where parking fees are charged (hourly with a daily maximum). Drive several kilometers to the parking area, then continue on foot following signs toward Playa Luna. Expect roughly a 20–25 minute walk including stairs and trail sections.
By Foot: From the parking area, follow the marked path toward Quirilluca Beach, then continue left over a small hill to reach Playa Luna. Another option is walking from Horcón harbor along the coastline at low tide (about 45–60 minutes), though this depends on sea conditions.
By Public Transport: There is no direct public transport to the beach itself. Buses run to Horcón from nearby cities (Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Santiago connections), but reaching Playa Luna from there requires a taxi or a long walk.
