Preciosa playa de la costa argentina la cual pude disfrutar tanto en mi adolescencia como actualmente Aguas limpias y amplias playas los guardavidas siempre están muy atentos Hermosa postal a toda hora, tanto al amanecer como al anochecer Muchos vendedores ambulantes, helados, gaseosas, facturas, pirulines, anteojos, sombrillas y hasta carritos con ropa entre otros tantos más Muchas dunas de arena seca y algo de vegetación Hay turistas de muchos lugares y de todas las edades, hace tiempo dejo de ser un lugar exclusivo de los jóvenes En su recorrido, hay muchos balnearios y un el muelle, como atractivo que destaca al resto de las costas linderas, hay un sendero o camino de madera que va desde el muelle o banco gigante al mirador norte (unos casi 4km) con zigzagueos, subidas y bajadas que hacen de este, una experiencia unica para los amantes del trote, ciclismo o simplemente caminar Lugar muy recomendado para ir con amigos, familia o pareja
