Playa La Balconada, Atlantic coast beach in La Paloma, Uruguay
Located between Cabo Santa María Lighthouse beach and El Cabito Beach, La Balconada features white sand stretching along the curved coastline of La Paloma.
The beach gained recognition in the 1970s when La Paloma transformed from a small fishing village into a significant coastal destination for Uruguayan tourism.
Local residents maintain a tradition of gathering at the beach during summer evenings to watch performers and musicians who share their talents near the shore.
The beach provides essential facilities including lifeguard services from December through February, public restrooms, and designated parking areas for visitors.
Strong north winds create optimal conditions for surfing, making this beach a center for surf instruction and water sports throughout the summer season.
