Mar Del Plata

+ Add a Photo

By Brandon Bragato

Mar del Plata is Argentina’s largest coastal tourist destination (resort), and during the summer months it certainly feels that way. The medium sized city of 600,00 swells with roughly six million annual visitors, all during the peak period of December through March, looking to mingle on the crowded beaches, take in a show or simply escape the heat of Buenos Aires. This is not the destination for every traveler. The beaches are far from spectacular and the city itself is a little rough around the edges, literally, with nicer neighborhoods around the coast and center. The bulk of the tourists that come to Mar del Plata are Argentine. Travelers looking for a glimpse at the Argentine holiday culture that want to meet new people, practice Spanish, eat fresh seafood and shop would definitely enjoy the area in the lively summer months. Mar del Plata is a family destination. Expatriate families living in Buenos Aires would enjoy the variety of entertainment and activities.
