I think the coast of central Chile is heaven on earth...
The surf is invigoration, the climate is perfect, and the every seed you throw on the ground seems to blossom like nowhere else (the ocean on the other hand is a weee bit cold ;-). If you've ever been to the California coast near Big Sur, Carmel, Monterey, etc and you loved it, you know exactly what I mean.
This photo is from Zapallar, Chile's version of Carmel -- upscale living for the conservative jet-set.
