Introducing La Paloma

This town is a surfer’s dream – out on a point, if there’s no swell on the left, it’ll be coming in on the right. Weekends in summer, the town often hosts free concerts down on the beach, making accommodation bookings essential.

The tourist office (6008; Av Nicolás Solari s/n) is in the Liga de Fomento building. There’s another at the bus terminal. The post office is on Av Nicolás Solari, as is Antel.

Bikes can be rented from Bicicletas El Topo (Canopus, btwn de la Virgen & Antares) for US$1/4 per hour/day. Peteco (Av Nicolás Solari) rents surfboards for US$10 per day.
