LA PEDRERA

“THIS PROGRESSIVE COUNTRY HAS LONG BEEN OFF THE RADAR FOR NORTH AMERICANS.
[…] IN LA PEDRERA […] CRAGGY ROCKS MAKE FOR FABULOUS VIEWS, BUT THE BEACHES THEMSELVES,
ESPECIALLY PLAYA DEL BARCO TO THE SOUTH AND DESPLAYADO TO THE NORTH,
ARE WIDE, CLEAN AND GOOD FOR SWIMMING…”
NEW YORK TIMES TRAVEL

La Pedrera is one of Uruguay’s friendliest beach towns and a quintessential Uruguayan experience—a lovely beach town, a mix of elegant houses on the beach, and a great place to relax. In summer it sports some of the coolest places to eat; the village is small but with all you need. There are great views from above the rocky cliffs, overlooking the ocean, with two very long and beautiful beaches on either side of the cliffs. One has smaller waves and is suitable for children and the other is a surfers' paradise. During the high season La Pedrera can be quite busy, but off-season it is very "tranquilo" - perfect for those who love serenity or are looking to disconnect from the world.
