"Ever since I was 2 years old, my family has been spending the holiday break at the same beach: Punta del Este, in Uruguay. The beach town is hands down one of my favorite places in the world, not only because of our long-standing family tradition - which I've now kept up with my own kids - but because it's a hidden gem in South America that deserves to be visited at least once. Here's why."
"Punta del Este has endless miles of beach, with options for everyone. If you like surfing, there's a popular beach where you can find people sitting on their boards waiting for the perfect wave. For families with young children, there's Playa Mansa, which rarely has waves, making it ideal for kids to wade around in the water. For more experienced swimmers, there's Playa Brava, which offers big waves and strong tides."
"There's so much for kids to do Uruguayans are known for being incredibly kind to kids. You can expect priority lines for families with young children at airports and supermarkets. In my experience, people often go above and beyond at restaurants and shops to ensure kids are happy. Beyond that, there are endless activities to keep kids happy. From ice cream shops to try on every block downtown, to an extensive (and free!) play"
