WaterBeach break + freshwater lagoons nearby
A popular Atlantic-coast resort where the beach-break draws kiters and windsurfers alike — the freshwater Laguna de los Horcones sits just inland as a flat-water alternative when the ocean's too much.

Getting thereAbout 3.5 hours south of Buenos Aires via Provincial Route 2 and Route 11. A car is completely necessary for the coastal tracks; free parking directly on the hard sand behind the beach bars (balnearios). The wide beach away from the central restaurant zone is the primary access.
HazardsFaces the open ocean with a real, heavy Atlantic shorebreak and genuine lateral rip during high swell. Watch for continuous motorized 4x4 dune buggy traffic along the active launching lanes — no dedicated public kite rescue services here.
Best time of dayAfternoon, when regional wind gets reinforced by a strong thermal off the coastal dunes. Increases post-midday for consistent cross-onshore tracking power.
