Playa Pajas Blancas

The beach extends along the Rio de la Plata coast with golden sand shores and features a 300-meter-long waterfront promenade for walking.

The French Lernou family named this area after the white reeds and wild grasses that covered their property until the early 20th century.

Local artisanal fishermen maintain their traditional practices at this beach, contributing to the preservation of Uruguay's coastal fishing heritage.

The beach offers accessibility features including a wooden boardwalk to the sand and guide rails, with lifeguards present during spring and summer seasons.

A former grand hotel from the 1920s, which served as a social center for Uruguayan and Argentine visitors, stands as a reminder of the area's past.
