From Wikipedia
Dichato is a coastal town located in the commune of Tomé in the Biobío Region, in central Chile. The town is located 37 kilometers north of the city of Concepción and has 4,486 inhabitants according to the 2017 census. Its geography is a very closed bay, with calm but very cold waters, suitable for water sports, frequently visited in the summer. It has numerous restaurants specializing in seafood products and diverse hotel offerings, operating all year round, but mainly occupied in the summer season. During the rest of the year, its main productive activity is artisanal fishing, with picturesque boats. The earthquake and tsunami of February 27, 2010 greatly affected Dichato, mainly its flat sector, where the force of the sea destroyed everything in its path.
