About Pocitos

Sandwich - Delicious Ingredient Three

Situated on the Rambla, around a picturesque curve of the promenade, Pocitos offers just the relaxation one would look forward to after a long tiring day. The mornings here are resplendent with beautiful sunrises and there is more than enough space to run, stretch or engage in outdoor activity. Usually, soccer and volleyball games are played during the day alongside nautical events and championships. But at night, the beach shimmers in the lights of upscale restaurants, traditional parrillas or chic and fancy shops. Moreover, if architecture interests you, you might want to stare long and hard at the many impressive buildings in the locality, some of which, like the Casa Casabo and Casa Williams have been designated as World Heritage Sites.

Tips

If visiting during the offseason, please exercise caution while swimming, as after the on-season the lifeguards and security are nearly negligible.
Do not go swimming on a full stomach or just after snacks.
Take care of your valuables as you relax on the beach.
The portions served in the restaurants are really not small, so choose your plate size wisely.
There aren't any beach beds or umbrellas on this beach. You could carry one on your own.
You may come across dead fish as the water of the sea and the river mix and the salty sea fish die or vice versa.
The Pocitos Beach is actually quite near to Carrasco Airport.
Do have your sunscreen cream handy as sometimes it can be really hot
