Pinamar brings together beaches, forests and dunes. This combination offers different ways to shape your stay: long stretches of beach, a forest trail, a route along the waterfront and individual cultural landmarks. You can choose destinations based on whether nature, swimming or culture is your main interest.
Beach and waterfront
Pinamar’s beaches form a continuous 22-kilometre stretch of golden sand. They are suitable for relaxing and recreational swimming. If you mainly want to spend time by the water, you can make the beach the main focus of your stay; its length gives the coastline a clear place in your travel plans.
The waterfront includes 40 sustainable beach clubs offering tents and parasols, dining and recreational activities for all age groups. As facilities and services may change, it is best to check in advance whether an offering that matters to you is available.
Forest trail, Paseo Costero and skydiving
The “Parque de los Pioneros” forest trail runs through Pinamar from Av. Bunge to Av. Shaw and is 6.5 kilometres long each way. If you plan to walk the same route back, allow for the distance in both directions; this will help you fit it into your day’s plans. In Pinamar, the Paseo Costero runs along Av. del Mar from Av. Bunge to Eolo. The two descriptions emphasize different things: one is a forest trail with a distance specified for each direction, while the other is a route along an avenue. When choosing, you can consider whether you would rather include the forest trail or the Paseo Costero.
At Paracaidismo Pinamar, first-time skydives are available from an altitude of 3,000 metres. The activity takes place every weekend in winter and daily in summer; seasonal schedules may change. So check the dates before adding this activity to your plans. This gives you a choice of different highlights: time by the water, a walk through the forest or a skydive.
Culture in Pinamar
Casilla La Elenita is a provincial monument in Pinamar and a cultural landmark alongside the beaches and nature. Its monument status adds a distinct point of interest to the places you may want to visit during your stay.
