On the coast of the Atlantic, Mar del Plata is one of Argentina’s most famous resort cities. With a long line of beaches along the coast, including Playa Grande, Punta Iglesia, and Punta Mogotes, which are great for sunbathing, swimming, and have some great waves for surfing, Mar del Plata is a beautiful destination for a holiday in the sun. A bit further inland, Mar del Plata is home to some historic houses and buildings from the 19th and 20th centuries, many of which are now shops and museums. Visitors to Mar del Plata can enjoy some local cuisine, from bitter mate to delicious steak and empanadas, check out some of the boutiques and shops on Güemes, and learn about the history of the region in the Museo del Mar.
