With almost 5,000 kilometers of coastline, it’s no wonder that Argentina has some of the nicest beaches around. Most of them are located in the southern half of Buenos Aires Province, combining the clear waters of the Atlantic with warmer temperatures. Why not enjoy sun and sea for a few days with our guide to the best beaches and seaside resorts in Argentina.
Mar del Plata
The biggest of them all and the main tourism destination for Argentines. Every January more than 2 million visitors descend on the beaches in Mar del Plata. La Feliz as the city is lovingly known offers affordable and sometimes noisy entertainment if you’re not afraid of the crowds. The huge number of accommodation on offer means that outside of January some very good deals on hotels and apartments can be had.
Cariló
The upper class destination. Argentina’s answer to Martha’s Vineyard, Cariló is a small village with beautiful cabins surrounded by pine trees and some first class restaurants. Founded by a wealthy land owner and then expanded by later generations, until some years ago access to the town was restricted to approved guests only. Tranquil and with a world class golf club, this is the place in summer to meet the Argentine political and financial elite and their families.
Villa Gesell
Affordable and with a lively nightlife, but without succumbing to the mass development of Mar del Plata, this is a popular choice with younger visitors. The city itself is filled with some innovative buildings and good bars and restaurants, but very quiet beaches are to be found just outside of town as well. Also known for its great quad and 4x4 possibilities.
Punta del Este
Uruguay’s main beach resort is also a very popular choice with Argentineans, as there are very good connections by both plane and ferry. This summer hang-out for the rich and famous attracts stars from all over South America and is host to all the hot summer parties.
