The Beaches
The peninsula separates two kinds of beaches.
To the north, oceanic beaches are rough and wild with great waves, special for surfers.
And to the south, calm oceanic waters allow other water games, yachting and family beach life.
The area presents all types of beaches: crowded beaches, deserted beaches, big wave beaches, nudist beach, rocky caves and a very special island.
Gorriti Island
Situated just in front of Punta del Este’s 1st calm beach, this extraordinary little spot turns into a yachting party during summer days and afternoons.
Even “after-hours” are very concurred by those who refuse to go to sleep when the night is over.
The Port
The port of Punta del Este is home to hundreds of yachts and sailing boats and receives mayor cruise ships in the summer months.
It is also a beautiful place to visit and walk around, try local dishes and seafood in the restaurants nearby. We Uruguayan’s are extremely proud of our food. Best range fed beef in the world.
La Barra
This place is known for its night clubs, pubs, restaurants, beach bars and the continuous party that takes place day and night all summer.
Punta del Este’s night is one of the sexiest, fun and wild in the world. People feel free and happy while dancing and partying in La Barra’s night. There are also other places in Punta del Este to party.
Paradores
“Paradores” are beach bars which can be found in all of Punta’s beaches. But these are not simple bars at the beach; they are all different from each other and offer a diverse amount of shows and activities. This is where people at the beach get together.
Sports, top model shows, bikini opens, delicious dishes, drinks, live music, dancing, djs, and parties guarantee fun at the beach every

Punta Ballena (Whale point)
15 minutes from Punta’s centre there is this rocky point where whales can be watched in winter. But during summer season unique apartments and houses are available.
This is probably the place with the best sight and sunsets of all our country. It is also a very fun place to dive from tall rocks and snorkel its clear waters and caves. A marvelous place is a very well known hotel called Casapueblo, an artist’s dream made true.
