Mar del Plata: When to Go

Most people head to Mardel during summer, which in itself is probably a good reason not to go, as the beaches can get ridiculously crowded. But summer is undoubtedly when the atmosphere of this coastal town is at its most lively. If you're after an atmosphere that is a little more low key, then head to Mardel during spring when the wildflowers are in full bloom or in fall. Outside of peak (summer) season, temperatures are distinctly cooler but prices are cheaper and you'll avoid the crowds, which for some will be reason enough to go then.

Weather

Temperatures in Mar del Plata can fluctuate dramatically throughout the year, with recorded lows of -6°C (21°F) and highs reaching 38°C (100°F). Extremes like this are fairly rare, though, and the temperature usually sits at a far more comfortable level. The city is part of the region known as the Pampas and the Atlantic Coast, a climatically diverse area. Situated in the Wet (Humid) Pampas along the coast, Mardel sees much more rainfall than the Dry Pampas to the West.
