Pocitos Beach, Urban beach in Pocitos, Uruguay
The sandy beach stretches along Rambla República del Perú in Montevideo, featuring a long waterfront promenade lined with residential buildings.
The beach received its name from the wells that washerwomen dug in the sand to clean clothes during the 19th century.
Local residents gather at the beach for beach soccer tournaments, swimming competitions, and volleyball championships throughout the summer season.
Located ten minutes from downtown Montevideo, the beach offers numerous cafes, restaurants, and two modern shopping centers within walking distance.
The beach borders the Río de la Plata, a water body with elevated salinity levels that creates distinct wave patterns along the shore.
