Quintay is a small fishing village located about 47 km (29 mi) to the south of Valparaíso, Chile.

From the village center, small lanes wind down to the caleta, or creek, where there's a fishing harbor with its seafood restaurants. Here you can see the fishermen unload their catch amidst over sea birds and sea otters. Also on the harbor are diving schools that provide scuba diving as well as kayaking excursions.

Quintay has two main beaches. Playa Chica is a picturesque beach about 10 minutes from the central plaza on foot. Its coast is bordered by high cliffs pounded by the surf. The other beach in the village is Playa Grande, which has a stretch of golden sands, and some condominium developments.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
