The main characteristics of Punta del Este are: quality, beauty and positive vibration described in their good restaurants, beach bars, hotels, shops and the nightlife.
A typical day in the city includes waking up around 11am /12pm, late afternoons sunbathing at the beach from 3 pm to 8h30 pm (the sunsets are about 9:30 on summer), late lunch (around 5/6pm at the beach or after beach) midnight dinners and late-night parties. During summertime all parties happen, restaurants are open and you can see a lot of people on the street. After February the city gets calm, and, as a typical beach city, some restaurants and bars close.

A tip: Stop in the Parador La Huella in the afternoon for an amazing lunch experience (the Volcán de Dulce de Leche is a must have). The restaurant is right by the beach. After you are ready to watch the sunset from the beach with the sound of the Dj.
A tip: After beach time stop in the Cactus restaurant for a delicious lunch or at Volta for a tasty and unforgettable ice cream. Or stay at the beach with the sound of the Dj enjoying some drinks and friends.

A tip: stop in the beach restaurant to try the famous Chipirones a La Plancha.
Most of the beaches have food tents and the unique flavours that they offer and you should try it are the Choclo, Clericot, Caipirinhas and Panchos.
