With the exception of the two landlocked states, all South American nations are home to charming beaches. I have selected for you a top 10 that will satisfy party lovers, enthusiastic surfers and beach lovers.
1. Mancora, Peru
A small beach town in the sunniest part of Peru is famous for its quality open-air restaurants - with ocean views on one side and a desert on the other. Mancora attracts a lot of kite surfers every year thanks to the favorable wind and waves. The beach is not very crowded during the day, but at night the local nightclubs come to life and attract crowds.
2. Montanita beach, Ecuador
The small coastal town of Montanita provides excellent conditions for surfing, diving, windsurfing and other water activities. Perfect place for active travelers, less suitable for young families. It has a reputation as a city of parties, which is reflected in the local beaches. Tourists soak up the exciting atmosphere most often with a cocktail in hand. By the way, smoking marijuana is allowed here.
3. Cayo de Agua beach, Venezuela
The beautiful white sandy beach of Cayo de Agua with its azure waters can be found in Los Roques National Park. It is considered a real Caribbean gem. The local sea is suitable for swimming, although the tide can be quite strong. Sufficiently clear water allows for snorkeling.
4. Joaquina, Florianopolis, Brazil
Florianopolis, the capital of the state of Santa Catarina in southern Brazil, is one of the most famous destinations for travelers from all over the world. It offers dozens of breathtaking beaches. A sure bet is the beautiful Joaquina with sand dunes and rich surfing opportunities. Treat yourself to delicious seafood delicacies right on the sand.
5. Anakena, Chile
The best time to visit Anakena Beach is in the morning, when you have it, so to speak, just for yourself. Nothing beats a good feeling of relaxation on a long stretch of light sand under the shadows of monolithic stone statues of Easter Island.
6. Lopes Mendes, Ilha Grande, Brazil
The beautiful Lopes Mendes beach is located on the paradise island of Ilha Grande. It is lined with almond and palm trees and clear blue water. Best of all, this stretch of white sand is virtually untouched. Not a single building is in sight. So bring something with you for snacks, sunscreen and maybe even a good book.
7. Punta del Diablo beach, Uruguay
For travelers looking for a distinctive bohemian atmosphere when escaping to the beach, Punta del Diablo is a good choice. Many Uruguayans and Argentines head here in the summer for fun in the sun and big waves. It provides an easy beach experience and great surfing.
8. Turtle on Shell Beach, Guyana
Shell Beach in Guyana stretches for about 90 km along the Atlantic coast near the border with Venezuela. It was named after the ubiquitous shells. It is an ideal place for rural enthusiasts who want to see sea turtles. It is a well-known nest for four of the eight species of sea turtles, most of which are endangered.
9. El Cabo San Juan, Magdalena, Colombia
El Cabo San Juan in the heart of Tayrona National Park is nothing less than a piece of paradise. However, access to the beach is more for the able-bodied. A challenging trip will be rewarded with a beautiful environment where you can rent a hammock and camp for the night.
10. Jericoacoara, Ceara, Brazil
Jericoacoara is located near Fortaleza in northeastern Brazil. The water is shallow, so it is not very suitable for swimming, but what makes it truly unique are the sand dunes facing west. They offer amazing views of the sun over the crystal clear ocean.
I want to travel this place ✌️ Beautiful place. Heart touching ❤️
