Atlantic Coast Travel Guide

Uruguay's Atlantic coast remains a relatively untapped and unspoiled tourist resource. Its most remote beaches can generally be found in the country's Rocha Department, which includes Uruguay's eastern-most Atlantic approaches. Notable tourist destinations in the area include the oceanfront communities of Cabo Polonio, La Paloma, Punta del Este, and Punta del Diablo - all of which have attracted growing interest and investment since around 1990.
