Two more beach towns

The tiny beach town of Balneario San Cayetano, which is not even found on google maps, is set at the edge of the dunes. Only a few blocks to wander with easy access to endless beach. Camping within a walk to the shore.

Claromecó Playa and the museum lighthouse is our last Buenos Aires Province beach stop.

Playa tranquila

The important port and quiet surfing town of Quequén at the Costa Bonita beach. Where the endless farmland of the Pampas ships out.

Mar del Plata

The biggest beach resort in Argentina, and second largest city in the province of Buenos Aires.  Now just a few weeks before the busy holiday season. 

Cerro Platita

The top of Cerro Platita (13.8K feet) is still low when viewing north to Cerro Plata (19.5K feet).
