Loved the atmosphere. In March there are very few tourists. Today, I disliked the rain. But still it is worth visiting.

Inside the Punta del Este harbor, don't miss the sea lions being fed (or waiting to be fed), usually in the morning, the fish scraps and carcasses discarded by the local fishermen cleaning fish at the end of the pier. It is a fun spectacle! The harbor also gives some very interesting views of the small local fishing boats, docked right next to big fancy yachts.

This is definitely a place to visit if you are nearby. Our cruise ship stopped here and it was beautiful. Lovely harbour full of yachts. Lots of shopping and places to eat. We found everything to be very clean and the shop owners very friendly. We would have stayed here longer if we were able to.

Spent a lovely day in this vacation resort town. It was crowded with summer getaway people from Buenos Aires, Montevideo, etc. The sandy beaches are lovely, the shopping and cafes are very well clean and friendly. The Conrad hotel stands out as a beautiful property right on the beach road. Casino on site, beautifully appointed lobby.

(Note: Reviews for this item seem to cover all kinds of aspects of Punta del Este, although the title is clearly about the harbor.) Punta del Este harbor offers a great walk if you like to watch boats and/or catch a nice sunset by the sea. Unlike many other harbors in the world the mooring docks can be accessed by the public at large so you can walk right up to all your favorite yachts and gawk. We recently went there with our young boys and they loved it. There are also a couple seafood restaurants inside the harbor, plus all kinds of restaurants and pubs right outside it. The best season for a walk in the harbor is the summer (December-February), both for quantity of docked boats and weather friendliness.

Five of us from the cruise ship decided to tour Punta del Este on our own. At the Port, we hired our own driver and his English speaking guide to visit the city's attractions. We each paid US$20 for this excursion, much cheaper than the US$85 which the cruise line was charging us. We spent more time at the Port when our excursion ended by walking around its neighborhood. Places we visited near the Port: Shops and restaurants at the city center. The Church and the lighthouse (included in our excursion) are near by and are within walking distance from the Port. A small fish market and restrooms are also at the Port. (Please see attached pictures).Much that we wanted to stay longer and enjoyed the view of the Port, we had to rush back to our tender to go back to our Cruise. The rain was heavy and the wind was strong. We all got soaked and wet but had fun in Punta del Este!
