Playa Los Sauces, Public beach in Santa Cruz, Argentina.
Playa Los Sauces is a beach in the Golfo San Jorge basin in northern Santa Cruz, Argentina, lying south of Playa SUPEH and north of Playa Las Golondrinas. It is reached by a turn-off from Ruta 3, and a line of willow trees runs along the road before the access path. The beach has a sea-condition flag system.
The beach takes its name from the willow trees that line the access road coming from Route 3 toward the coast. These trees became a defining feature of the route leading to this coastal area.
The beach serves as a gathering place for people from surrounding towns who come here especially during summer months to spend time together. Visitors use the space to meet with family and friends and enjoy the coastal environment.
The beach is monitored by lifeguards who use a flag system to communicate water safety conditions to swimmers. Visitors should always check the flags to determine if swimming is safe and permitted.
The beach is named after the willows (sauces) that grow along the route: before the turn-off from Route 3 toward the beach, a row of willows can be seen lining the road. The species is native to cold and temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere, mainly in damp soils.
