Description
Cariló is a carefully designed beach resort town situated along Argentina’s Atlantic coast, distinguished by its mature pine and acacia forests growing among sweeping dunes. The town’s name, meaning “green dune,” reflects this lush landscape, and urban planning prioritizes preservation—roads are sand trails, buildings are nestled forest-side, and any removal of trees is offset with replanting. Located between Pinamar and Villa Gesell, Cariló offers a unique blend of tranquillity, natural beauty, and subtle elegance.
The beach offers a broad, unspoiled sandy shoreline open to all, with only a few beach clubs enhancing the serene setting rather than overtaking it. It’s an ideal spot for quiet walks, swimming, or simply relaxing to the sound of the waves. The dunes and forests surrounding the beach give it a secluded and almost untouched atmosphere, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking peace and nature.
For those looking for more activity, Cariló delivers. You’ll find options for surfing, quad-biking, hiking, birdwatching, horseback riding, children’s aerial parks, golf, and tennis—all framed by the town’s quiet charm and mindful design. The experience often feels magical and forested, yet light on commercialization. Access is easy via Route 11, and the town is serviced by local buses or taxis from nearby hubs like Pinamar or Villa Gesell.
