Playa Buceo beach

Playa Buceo is a beach in the east of Montevideo, Uruguay. This is a great city beach, but still relatively secluded. Summer afternoon is the only time, when it can be crowded here. There are no trees, while the sand is very hard. So this is rather a place for walking, sports and games. However, pure beach holiday is also good enough. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Right near the beach of Playa Buceo, there are several hotels and apartments from US$50 per night. So it is a good place to stay almost in the center of Montevideo and still close to the beach.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Montevideo international airport (MVD). Next get by bus or hire a taxi.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in Uruguay are January and February. Since sea water is very cold the rest of the year.
