Las Grutas is an unspoiled beachfront area located approximately 15 kilometers from San Antonio Oeste along Argentina's southern coastline area. The beach's name, which translates to "The Caves" in English, is derived from its beautiful surrounding coastal cliffs. Despite its Southern Hemisphere location, the beach and its nearby Gulf of San Matias region claim the warmest water temperatures on the Eastern Seaboard, reaching nearly 27 degrees Celsius and providing highly swimmable water conditions long past peak tourist season. Popular recreation activities include opportunities for swimming, kitesurfing, and shore fishing, with many hiking trails available for use throughout the region. During February, several beauty pageants and bikini festivals are hosted in the region, including the Las Grutas Bikini Open.
