Playa La Herradura

Playa La Herradura is a coastal beach in Rada Tilly that stretches along the Atlantic shore between two rocky headlands. The shore features expansive sandy areas where visitors can swim, walk, and enjoy various recreational activities.

Rada Tilly was founded in 1948, though indigenous Tehuelche people and settlers from nearby areas had used the region long before. Since then, the beach has become an important gathering place for the local community.

The Regional Museum of Rada Tilly, established in 1987, exhibits fossil collections and conducts research on local flora and fauna in collaboration with Patagonian universities.

At low tide, the beach becomes especially wide and reveals firm sand suitable for walking and various sports activities. Visitors should plan their time around tidal changes to make the most of their visit.

The location ranks as the southernmost beach resort in the Americas, situated within the San Jorge Gulf basin at coordinates 45°55′24″S 67°32′58″W.
