Go across the main street until it ends. Then, go towards the ocean, and take the oceanside road (costanera) to the South, passing by the gastronomical stands (módulos gastronómicos), and continue until it ends at the Las Conchas Creek (caleta las Conchas). Go back on the oceanside road passing by the old dock (muelle antiguo), the San Pedro Creek (caleta San Pedro) and journey the Grande Beach (Playa Grande) with its pedestrian sidewalk and benches. To finish this trip, visit the surprising Cultural Warehouse of Los Vilos.
