Totally set apart from urban centers, the beaches of José Ignacio are practically virgin beaches.
The growth of this small resort has generated a migratory current of beachgoers, who often spend the day.
As in Punta del Este, the peninsula of José Ignacio has a Playa Mansa and a Playa Brava, that look towards the west and the east respectively.
You’ll find plenty of space on these beaches, and a measure of peace and quiet not to be found in the trendier beaches, or on the peninsula.
