Fire cooking$$
Parador La Huella
Beach parrilla with your feet in the sand — the hardest table to get all summer.
Atlantic Coast
José Ignacio
A lighthouse, a rocky point and the quiet, expensive version of the Uruguayan summer.
Beach
A tiny village on a headland, with the lighthouse in the middle and two beaches — one on each side. José Ignacio became the destination for people who want Punta del Este without Punta del Este: fire-cooked restaurants, low houses and no nightclubs.
What you should not miss
- The José Ignacio lighthouse
- Playa Mansa and Playa Brava, side by side
- Laguna Garzón and its circular bridge
- A fire-cooked dinner at sunset
