Punta del Este is internationally recognised as America's main seaside resort. It's the main dish in this beach menu. Whoever tries it is hooked forever. Situated in the Department of Maldonado, it has ocean as well as river beaches. Some of its most famous beaches are Portezuelo, (at the foot of the 'Sierra de la Ballena'), the strip of beaches from 'Pinares' to 'Las Delicias'. Finally, we come to beaches of the 'Barra' with its characteristic undulating bridge and the 'Manantiales' beaches. On the way to 'José Ignacio' there are many more spectacular stretches of white sand, some populated, others almost untouched.
Punta del Este's main attraction is the extraordinary variety of offers it has for the tourist. A wide range of hotels can be found everywhere and they go from the most luxurious to the most modest, but always comfortable. Restaurants with high quality
international and national cuisine. A cultural activity with a wide variety of cinemas, theatres, casinos, musical shows and parties all year round. Punta del Este never sleeps and there's always something to do. Plus the unique quality of its architecture,
unspoilt coastline and abundant forests give it a characteristic personality that differentiates it from other international
resorts.
