Introducing Punta del Diablo

In recent years, Punta del Diablo has morphed from a sleepy fishing village into one of Uruguay’s prime coastal getaways. The beautiful shoreline remains intact, and the influx of outsiders has added an infectious dose of youthful energy, but inland the place is beginning to feel choked by endless waves of seemingly uncontrolled development. It’s still a very pleasant spot to spend a few days; just don’t come expecting to escape the crowds.
