There are many beaches along the coastline. We stayed in a nice location, 20 minutes from the noisy and crowded centre of Punta del Este, in the middle of a green villa neighbourhood. The hostel was 400 metres from "Bikini Beach", the most famous surfing beach of Punta del Este and a 25 peso bus ticket outside of the Punta del Este city centre. "Bikini Beach" is a white sandy beach with strong waves, a surfers paradise. This part of Punta del Este reminded me of South Africa´s Jeffrey's Bay. There are a couple of good and interesting restaurants from where you can view the sea and enjoy the beautiful sunsets of the Uruguayan coast. This wasn´t my most favorite stop-over in our trip, but had one of the better beaches I had seen so far in Uruguay. A bit touristy for me, but overall a good place to visit.
Tip: Rent a car and take a scenic coastal drive.
