This article is about the Chilean beach. For the Peruvian headland, see [Punta Lobos](/source/Punta_Lobos).

**Punta de Lobos** ([English](/source/English_language): *Sea-lions Point*) is a [Chilean](/source/Chile) town, administratively part of the commune of [Pichilemu](/source/Pichilemu), whose urban centre is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north), in the [Cardenal Caro Province](/source/Cardenal_Caro_Province), [O'Higgins Region](/source/O'Higgins_Region).[1]

The beach of Punta de Lobos, about 200 km south of [Valparaiso](/source/Valparaiso), is well-known internationally for being a good place for [surfing](/source/Surfing) and the practice of [kiteboarding](/source/Kitesurfing).[2] Its waves vary between two and three meters high, allowing surfers of different skill levels to select their waves. The town of Punta de Lobos is characterized by its fine gray sand, and is surrounded by cliffs which are 50 metres high. Its odd rocks (Rocas de Punta de Lobos) are frequented by sea-lions.

Punta de Lobos was nominated as the 7th [World Surfing Reserve](http://www.worldsurfingreserves.org) by [Save The Waves Coalition](http://www.savethewaves.org) in 2013.[3]
