Playa Brava
Playa Brava is the wild beach of Punta del Este, located directly on the open Atlantic. Its name "the rough beach" refers to the powerful waves that make this coastal section a paradise for surfers.
Here you'll also find Punta del Este's most famous landmark: the hand sculpture "Los Dedos" by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal. This giant hand emerging from the sand is Uruguay's most photographed motif and symbolizes human presence in nature.
Playa Brava offers consistent waves and hosts international surf competitions and is a meeting point for the surf community.
The wide sandy beach stretches for kilometers along the east coast and seamlessly transitions into adjacent neighborhoods. During high season, beach life pulses here with beach bars, sporting events, and a young crowd.
Properties along Playa Brava offer direct Atlantic views and the appeal of dynamic beach life. Modern apartment complexes and stylish villas line the coast and are particularly popular with sports-minded buyers and younger investors.
