Pinamar

Pinamar was founded in the 1940s through the systematic planting of pine and eucalyptus trees on sand dunes under the direction of architect Jorge Bunge. The city is defined by strict building codes that mandate the preservation of green spaces, giving it a distinct forested character unlike typical concrete seaside towns. Its wide sandy beaches stretch for over 30 kilometers along the Atlantic coast, providing ample space for summer visitors. During the peak summer months, it becomes a major destination for residents of Buenos Aires seeking nature and recreation. The local economy is entirely centered around this seasonal influx, with high-end resorts and wooden cabins dotting the landscape. Besides traditional water sports like surfing and kitesurfing, Pinamar features numerous off-road tracks specifically designated for 4x4 vehicles and quad bikes. The primary access point from the capital is via Provincial Route 11, making it an easy drive for weekend getaways.
