Beautiful Sandy Beaches

Colonia’s coastline along the Río de la Plata and the Uruguay River offers a diverse range of freshwater beaches, from the pine-shaded shores of Playa Ferrando to the high dunes of Blancarena. This selection features both developed waterfronts in Nueva Palmira and "agreste" (wild) spots like Punta Piedras and Matamora that lack commercial infrastructure. These locations are characterized by fine sand, shallow waters, and natural shade provided by eucalyptus and pine forests.
