Wonderful long sandy beaches that attract both Uruguayans and foreign visitors. The town is appreciated by surfers . The ocean offers great surf here. And where did the "devil's name" of the resort come from? Well, many ships have crashed in this area. Hence, the locals believed that this place was cursed and dangerous in its own way. Currently, you will have a different impression, because the idyllic atmosphere is conducive to relaxation. To the south of the city there is a national park - Parque Nacional de Santa Teresa , where you can admire 2 million exotic and local trees. It is a perfect place for a walk, but also for sunbathing, because within the park you can find really beautiful beaches.
