San Bernardo del Tuyú

San Bernardo del Tuyú is a coastal village in La Costa Partido, Buenos Aires, stretching along the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement features tree-lined streets and sandy beaches with residential buildings, shops, and restaurants that serve the daily needs of residents and visitors.

The village was founded in 1943 when Juan Carlos Chiozza and nine investors purchased coastal land from a private ranch. This early group transformed the area into a residential settlement that has continued to grow.

The village takes its name from Saint Bernard and expresses its bond with the sea through how residents and visitors use the beaches and public spaces throughout the year. Warm months draw families who gather by the water and spend time shopping and dining in local establishments.

Year-round accommodation options range from rental homes to hotels to beachfront properties for different budgets. The village is compact enough to explore on foot, with shops and restaurants within easy reach near the beach.

An observation center allows visitors to view planets and galaxies while contributing to data collection on the ozone layer. This scientific facility merges education with local environmental research in an unexpected way.
