Fodor's Expert Review Playa Solanas
Punta del Este
Beach
The famous Casapueblo museum and hotel sit above this calm beach, also called Portezuelo, at Punta Ballena. Its shallow water shielded from the wind makes it a favorite of families with small children. Great sunset views are a plus here, too. Amenities: lifeguards; showers; toilets. Best for: sunrise; sunset; swimming; walking.
