Prices during the January peak range significantly, typically between $80 and $160 per night, depending on proximity to the water.

Visitors often spend the following days walking the coastal trails that connect the various 'balnearios' or kayaking in the calmer stretches of the sea. The local culture centers on the 'asado' tradition and seasonal social gatherings in the village squares. For those interested in regional history, the nearby coastal towns provide insight into the development of the Uruguayan seaside resorts during the mid-20th century.
