ARGENTINA BEACHES
Argentina is not internationally recognized because of its beaches, but for its glaciers and ski resorts. But this South American giant has more interesting beaches than you might think, although the temperature does not help to keep the beach tourism going all year, in the summer time (December-March) the internal tourism to the Argentinian beaches is very high, and in the last few years, international tourism has been developing, based not only on the beauty of its beaches, but on the infrastructure and nightlife activities the Argentinian beaches have to offer.
Most of the Argentinian beaches are on the south part of the Atlantic Ocean, and the coastal zone on the Rio de la Plata, which it shares with the Uruguay beaches.
The first important beaches from north to south are the San Clemente del Tuyú, and especially the Playas de las Toninas. Following the Atlantic line, there come the Pinamar and Villa Gessell beaches, both with plenty of nightlife, with a good amount of discos, restaurants and pubs.
Then is Mar del Plata, the coastal pearl of Argentina, the "South American Biarritz", its nickname due to its similarity to the catchy French beach. Mar del Plata has unusual golden sand and millenial rocks, as well as an amazing promenade to walk the more than 40 kilometers of the Mar del Plata coast.
More to the Argentinian south, there are more beaches that are worth to mention, obviously not because of their summer attraction, because the weather can get very cold in this area, but because of the beautiful landscape the area has to offer.
The Argentinian beaches offer a non traditional destination in regards to South American beaches for the adventurer and exotic eager tourist, will be of great interest. That added to the intrinsic attractions of the non coastal Argentina, such as its gastronomy, its bohemian life, its tango places and the passion for soccer. All of these features are a good complement for the Argentinian beaches as an important destination for the international tourist.
