Montevideo

The beaches of Montevideo are characteristic for their fine white sands and the calm waters of the Río de la Plata.

Together with its 30 kilometers of rambla they constitute one of the main attractions of Montevideo.

Nearly 60% of the Montevideans summer in Montevideo.

The capital is, in addition to a port city, a spa city.

Its most popular beach is, for almost one hundred years, that of Pocitos.

In the east zone the beaches Ramírez, Pocitos, Puertito del Buceo, Buceo, Malvín, Honda, Ingleses, Mulata, Carrasco and Miramar follow each other.

In the western zone, farthest from the Center and therefore less crowded, Punta Espinillo, La Colorada, Pajas Blancas, Zabala, Punta Yeguas, Santa Catalina, Nacional and Cerro appear.

The Intendancy maintains the microbiological control of the quality of the waters.

This routine has been extended and modernized, taking place daily throughout the year in a coordinated manner by the Environmental Hygiene Laboratory.

In addition to the lifeguard service, all the authorized beaches are guaranteed health coverage and the care of bathers through first aid posts and emergency and medical care.

In the summer, in addition to enjoying the sun, sand and sea, shows are offered and physical activities classes are offered for all ages.

The Summer Program consists of varied activities that integrate the whole family, not only along the entire coast, but also in squares and parks.

In different points of the beaches from Pajas Blancas to Playa Verde, sports modules are installed and work is being done in two recreational areas, one aimed at children and the other at young people and adults.

The recitals that take place along the coast mark the musical note of summer.

The montevideana rambla is one of the main meeting points for lovers of sports and outdoor recreational activities.
