Pinamar, Coastal resort municipality in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Pinamar is a coastal resort in Buenos Aires Province where streets curve through dense pine forests, connecting homes to Atlantic beaches and sand dunes. The city blends forest preservation with urban development, creating a setting where nature and settlement coexist.
The city was founded in 1943 by Jorge Bunge and Valeria Guerrero, who transformed this desert-like region into an urban place. Strict building codes were part of the original plan to protect the surroundings.
The name Pinamar comes from the pine forests that shape the area, and these trees define how the city looks and feels today. You can experience how the forest extends all the way to the coast and influences daily life throughout town.
The summer season from December to February is the busiest time with many visitors and abundant lodging options. In other seasons it is quieter, but the forest and beaches remain accessible year-round.
On July 2, 2019, a rare scientific observation took place here: the first webcam recording of a total solar eclipse below the horizon. This astronomical event brought international attention to the place.
