Mar de las Pampas: Summer hollidays...or a lovely weekend

Mar de las Pampas is a small town near Villa Gesell, and it is perfect for those who love going to the beach and being in peace. In this little town, you will find everything you need in order to rest and relax; plus any additional services you may need during your stay. Enormous beaches, the energetic sea, remarkable services, amazing woods and the right peace in order to renew your mind and soul at any time of the year.
It is one of the newest of the Atlantic coast, and possibly one of the greatest growth potential for tourism. From a judicial auction in April 1957, the land was divided into lots and the action of men began to transform what was a large area of dunes into the beautiful woods that have become Mar de las Pampas.
Under the shade of the trees began construction, mostly huts, usually built of wood and stone. Since a few years ago began to develop a commercial center, and year after year tourism has been growing.
Separated just by one street, the neighboring town of Las Gaviotas also offers good standard of accommodation at cheaper prices.

Getting Here and Around

The nearest long-distance bus station to Mar de las Pampas is in Villa Gesell, a crowded, unattractive resort town 6 km (4 mi) north of Mar de las Pampas. Taxis depart from an official stand in the Villa Gesell terminal and cost around 20 pesos to Mar de las Pampas. Local bus company El Ultimo Querandí also connects the two: their groaning, sand-filled buses leave Avenida 3 in Villa Gesell every hour on the half hour, and return from Mar de las Pampas's main square on the hour.
As Mar de las Pampas has no supermarket or bank (only an ATM), a car is useful for stays of more than a day or two. If you don't fancy the drive from Buenos Aires, you can rent a car in Pinamar or Villa Gesell, then continue along RN 11 until you reach the clearly labeled left-hand turnoff to Mar de las Pampas.
