Argentina’s 6 most beautiful beaches

Those visiting Argentina between November and March should consider spending a few days at the beach. There are several excellent locations to escape the summer heat and immerse yourself in Argentina’s holiday culture. There is a beach in Argentina to suit every taste, from stuffy, urbanized beach resorts to small little family-oriented gateways.

Mar del Plata

The crowds that come to Argentina’s original and liveliest beach resort as the temperature rises are well-known throughout the country. Every summer, large crowds of international and local tourists flock to Mar del Plata’s sands to soak up the sun before hitting the town’s infinite choice of stylish restaurants and bars after dark. It’s not exactly a peaceful location, so if you’re looking for peace and quiet, look elsewhere. Diverse activities, such as golfing, fishing, and sailing, aid to relieve the stress.

La Frontera

Pinamar, which translates to „pine tree on the sea,“ offers golden sands, warmish Atlantic currents, and reasonable surf. Families with little children as well as teenagers let loose for the first time to go to this beach town with its fishing pier and surrounding forest. Every summer, kite surfers flock to this spot for the strong winds. Drive north up and over the sand dunes to La Frontera beach for relative peace and quiet, and plan to remain for the unadulterated pink-and-purple ocean sunsets if you can get a four – wheel drive or quad bike.

Cariló

Cariló, a few kilometers south of sister town Pinamar, attracts the wealthy upper class who opt to vacation in Argentina with its elegant villas and lovely gardens. Visitors may be shocked by the number of cars that cross the dunes and park on the beach itself during the off-season, which goes against Cariló’s eco-friendly mentality. Regardless, this is the country’s top resort, with politicians, business moguls, and celebrities flocking here for a peaceful getaway.

Playa Larga, Tierra del Fuego

Fueguinos (Indian people of Tierra del Fuego) strip off at Playa Larga in Tierra del Fuego when the end of the world reaches its yearly peak temperature of roughly 24°C in the summer. The bravest even face the icy waters of the Beagle Channel. Visitors can reach this lonely nature reserve through a one-hour hike from the main road, where a shingle beach awaits. Whales, penguins, and petrels are all to be seen.

Villa Gesell

At Villa Gesell, the endless hawkers selling churros, ice cream, sunglasses, and headgear are a part of the scenery. The coastal haven for Buenos Aires‘ working-class families and students, who fill the nearby campsites. A wooden boardwalk runs alongside the golden sand beach, which becomes muddy at low tide and is used by joggers and dog walkers. For a slightly quieter experience, head south of the center from calle 20 upwards (near the fishing pier) to balnearios.

Bariloche, Río Negro

Pitch your towel along one of the lakeshores around Lago Nahuel Huapi in Bariloche for mountain views and Alpine vibes. Summer temperatures in this section of Patagonia can reach 30 degrees Celsius, so bring plenty of sunscreen. Families spend their days at Playa Serena, while scuba divers and kayakers flock to Playa Bonita. Although Lago Nahuel Hapi is not an ocean, its lakeside shoreline are some of Argentina’s most beautiful beaches.
