Description
Pinamar is a refined coastal resort town in the Buenos Aires Province, born from a transformative urban design that turned wild dunes into a uniquely green and well-planned seaside retreat. Its charm, defined by winding streets amid pine forests and soft dunes, makes it equally popular for peaceful family getaways and vibrant summer vacations. Located about 350 to 400 kilometres south of Buenos Aires, Pinamar combines natural beauty with upscale amenities, drawing visitors from across Argentina and beyond.
The beaches are expansive and sandy, with shallow, calm waters near the shore, providing excellent conditions for both swimming and water sports. Jet skiing, windsurfing, surfing, beach volleyball, and fishing are all popular here, and the coastline is lined with piers, casual eateries, and beach clubs offering food and drinks. Lifeguard services and clean facilities make it a family-friendly destination, while the overall layout preserves a sense of space and serenity even in busy seasons.
Getting to Pinamar is convenient by car or long-distance bus, though the local train service was suspended in 2025. The beach area is well-equipped with amenities like showers, restrooms, sunbed rentals, and food stalls, though during the peak summer months of December and January, it can become crowded. Local public transport is limited, so it's wise to plan ahead for accommodation and parking. Pinamar remains one of Argentina’s premier beach destinations, offering a relaxed coastal atmosphere with a touch of elegance.
