Cabo Polonio beaches

Many legends are woven around Cabo Polonio, a paradise on the coast of Rocha where you can enjoy the wild nature and peace.
Cabo Polonio beaches

Its beaches bordered by rocky points and monumental shifting dunes are an eerie and captivating show. To access this rustic resort is necessary to use the services of local transport, as there are no roads or routes to and use of private vehicles is prohibited to preserve the integrity of the dunes. A feature that is unique to Cabo Polonio is their lack of services ( water, telephone or electricity ) and streets to give privileged nature presence . For this reason it is in nature reserve member of the Protected Areas System . Another attraction of this resort for nature lovers is the seal colony , one of the largest in the world . These wonderful pinnipeds can be observed while sunning on the rocks and playing in the sea , waving their songs sound that can be heard from afar. They are captive horseback riding along the coast or traveled on foot through the desert landscape of dunes. The two Cape beaches lend themselves to both the bathroom and for water activities, with large transparent waves and fine sand. The coasts off Cabo Polonio have been the scene of many shipwrecks caused by the bravery of ocean waters , so in 1881 a lighthouse that has dominion over the uninhabited landscape was installed. There are a number of islands around the Cape , forming two groups. The three islands : Roquedal , La Encantada and Rasa , which can be visited by boat. And the Castillo Grande group, consisting of Isla Seca and Marco Island , which is located across from the hill Buena Vista, between Cabo Polonio and Valizas bar . But what gives her such a unique character to Cabo Polonio is the strip of dunes and natural dunes, declared Natural Monument by the government. With a maximum height of 30 meters, these dunes are as spectacular as fragile as any alteration in its landscape setting could make them disappear . Moved by the incessant local wind , the dunes are constantly moving as if they were living in southwest- northeast, moving an average of five meters a year, bringing sand to the beaches .
