Beaches at Cabo Polonio

This is a point of land that has beautiful beaches and a small hippie comunity. There is now a new visitor center at km 264 1/2 on Ruta 10 where you buy tickets to ride trucks over the dunes to get to the beaches. No vehicles can drive out there other than these authorized trucks. Great unspoiled destination.

Park your car just off Route 10, hop aboard the double decker dune buggy bus, and ride across the dunes to the funky little town of Cabo Polonio. Climb the lighthouse, watch the sea lions on the rocks, soak up some sun on the beautiful beaches, and head home when you've had enough. Not to be missed if you're traveling to coastline of Rocha.

Playa de Punta del Diablo

Reviewed By NC0114 - Sheffield, United Kingdom

Punta del Diablo's a bit out of the way, and the town itself is nothing special, but this beach is absolutely tremendous and justified the effort on its own....
