Cabo Polonio is a unique, off-the-grid fishing village on the east coast of Uruguay. It consists of several dozen homes and an estimated 600 residents, and is known for its rugged beauty, its wild nature, and its picturesque lighthouse, Faro de Cabo Polonio. Located on the Atlantic coast, this lighthouse provides a great view of nearby landscapes, the sea and the small rocky beach. There are no roads or bridges that connect to this incredible place, so the only way to reach it is by driving on sand dunes. Apart from the lighthouse and the beach, visitors can explore the nearby wildlife preserve and the rustic homes of the inhabitants. It's a perfect getaway spot for a weekend retreat and to relax in nature. Pleasant and unique, this is an unforgettable experience.
