Playa La Tranquera, Sandy beach in the San Jorge Gulf, Chubut Province, Argentina.

Playa La Tranquera is a 560-metre sandy beach near the Chubut–Santa Cruz provincial border, between Playa Los Límites and Playa Alsina in the San Jorge Gulf basin. It lies close to Punta Peligro, whose headland shelters it from strong winds and heavy swells. It belongs to a system of seven fine-sand beaches; to the north and south the shores are pebble or similar.

Playa La Tranquera belongs to a chain of seven fine-sand beaches on the San Jorge Gulf, the only such stretch between pebble shores to the north and south. Its shelter comes from nearby Punta Peligro, the headland whose sharp bend on the coastal road earned it its name.

In spring and summer the beach fills with residents of Rada Tilly, Comodoro Rivadavia and Caleta Olivia, who come for afternoons in the sun or to camp. The name La Tranquera refers to a gate or barrier of the kind used to pen livestock, fitting for a stretch of sand sheltered from wind and heavy swell by nearby Punta Peligro.

Access is difficult, especially at high tide, and the final approach lies near Punta Peligro, where the road forms a sharp, accident-prone curve. The beach has no lifeguards or rescue services, and strong wind gusts during storms can reach the sea and affect even heavy vehicles on the nearby route.

The beach lies in a system of seven fine-sand beaches, the only such stretch in the San Jorge Gulf: to the north and south the shores are pebble or similar. Punta Peligro, the headland sheltering it from wind and swell, takes its name from the sharp, accident-prone curve the road makes there.
