The town of Quellón is in the distance, population about 14,000. I came to this swimming area for lunch today, at Punta Lapa, a point of land connected to the town. Great salmon!
My hotel overlooks the waterfront. Punta Lapa is in the background.
The low tide gives these boat owners a chance to make repairs. Some people are building boats nearby. The fishing industry is huge here, and unemployment is almost unknown. Salmon farms and shellfish extraction provide abundant work.
Sacks of clams are a daily catch to be loaded on to refrigerated trucks for shipment north.
These workers are loading seaweed to be exported for industrial use.
