Pocitos beach
Pocitos beach is one of the best places to visit in Montevideo. Pocitos, a resort suburb best known for its beach, is one of Montevideo's most popular neighbourhoods and a popular summer vacation in Uruguay. Pocitos beach is bounded on one side by the sea and on the other by the Rambla (a large avenue with the world's longest continuous walkway). Year-round activities include biking, running, or having a mate (a traditional herbal drink served in a hollow calabash gourd) with friends, as well as relaxing on the large length of sand in the summer.
During the year, Playa Pocitos hosts several maritime events and is surrounded by high-end restaurants, luxury boutiques, and gorgeous hotels and short-term residences that overlook the lake. Pocitos also has a variety of historically significant buildings, including the 19th-century Church of Saint John the Baptist and the Plaza Tomás Gomensoro, which provides a green break on hot days with a shaded pergola and lots of benches to rest on.
