Uruguay invites you to enjoy its beaches.
Many times we have heard about or seen on the covers of newspapers and magazines that Punta del Este or José Ignacio are the stars of the seasons, setting trends either for their glamorous parties, the outstanding participation on their beaches of entertainment figures and athletes, the after beach where there is no lack of the total white look and the big hats.

piriapolis
If we talk about places steeped in history, Piriápolis is one of them.
It was
founded in 1893, at the height of the Belle Époque
, by Francisco Piria, businessman, alchemist and character if there were any.
He originally named it Balneario del Porvenir, a name that would become a sentence over time.
The city has the merit of having emerged from meticulous planning to attract the Uruguayan and Argentine aristocracy at the end of the 19th century.
Pirápolis is another of the beach charms to discover.
Visiting it brings with it the need to delve into its history, its symbols, its traditions and the richness of its past that gives it a unique identity in the present.
Beyond its curious and particular foundation,
Piriápolis is another of the beach charms to discover.
Its beaches are located along a 25-kilometer strip of coastline that goes from the Solís stream to Punta Negra.
All of them, with their white sands and clean waters, receive thousands of Uruguayan, Argentine and European tourists every summer.

boulevard, a replica of the French Biarritz, is one of the main attractions

Argentino Hotel, which for many years was considered the largest in South America.
The options for activities in this city are wide and for all tastes.
Parks, water sports, chairlifts, hiking circuits, rappelling, horseback riding are just some of the alternatives to enjoy this summer.

If we have to describe Piriápolis in a few words, we could say: a resort full of magic and history.
Devil's Point
A real postcard.
Since its inception, this
fishing village
has been fully dedicated to tourism, combining a large number of cabin complexes, hotels and campsites.
Characterized by its rocky crags that enter the sea, Punta del Diablo presents itself as an ideal setting for those who love sport fishing.
It is common to see tourists walking barefoot through its dirt streets while enjoying its beautiful beaches and meeting its people.
Punta del Diablo, fishing village.
This small Rochense Eden,
as its tradition indicates and its history supports it, is the ideal place to eat the most delicious and fresh fish.
In addition, the spa is ideal for those who practice surfing, since the waves form large peaks in front of La Viuda beach.
It should be noted that during the summer season, championships are held with the participation of local athletes and countries in the region.
But if you plan to visit Punta del Diablo in the next few days, you cannot miss the craft fair, located in the center of town and the artists of the area who accompany the most impressive sunsets with their music.
The stone
If the plan is to go with the family, the Rochense spa is the right place.
Located at km 227, 200 of Route 10, Juan Díaz de Solís, a little further east of Cabo de Santa María, on a narrow and small peninsula called Punta Rubia.
The beaches of La Pedrera admit both rest and recreation, such as fishing or the most varied water sports.
This small spa has a
strong exclusive and cosmopolitan character
, as well as an excellent infrastructure for accommodation.
Its
main beach is usually known as Desplayado
and it is a great attraction center during the summer months.
On the other hand, on the south beach you can see the last vestiges of
the fishing vessel Cathay, which ran aground in 1971
.
Continuing further south, the Barrancas de la Pedrera offer tourists a surprising combination of textures and colors of nature.
But in addition to the beach, you can visit the Social Club located on the main street of La Pedrera, as well as its Church, the craft fair and a wide variety of small shops and restaurants that provide warmth and service for an unforgettable stay.
And as in most of the Uruguayan coast, the boulevard is the protagonist, becoming the perfect place to enjoy a fascinating landscape of a full moon or to observe the incredible courtship of right whales in the winter months.
Dove
Beautiful by nature, La Paloma is undoubtedly one of the
most emblematic and popular spas in the department of Rocha
.
Nestled in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, its amazing and varied beaches attract thousands of tourists every year who choose from those with calm waters such as those of the small bay, to those with great waves such as La Balconada, La Aguada or La Pedrera.
The inlets, the rocky points, the large expanses of fine white sand, the high dunes, the flat or deep waters and an endless number of natural attractions make La Paloma a unique place suitable for all types of public.
