Playa Mansa
A calm bay beach on the west side of the peninsula, ideal for family swimming and water sports, with especially lovely sunsets.
Playa Mansa, meaning 'gentle beach,' lies in Maldonado Bay on the western side of the peninsula. Gorriti Island shelters it, so the water stays calm, making it good for swimming with children, stand-up paddleboarding and sailing. High-rise apartments and hotels line the shore, and in the evening the sun sets into the bay, making it the city's best spot for sunsets. Free admission.
