Almost along the entire coastline of South America – and that’s some 12,000 miles – you’re going to find fabulous beaches. So as you’re soaking up the unique ambiance and culture(s) of this captivating continent, stunning stretches of sands on which you can soak up that sizzling sun are never going to be too far away either.

The beaches of Brazil are of course a draw for many – and quite rightly so, as not only can you find here sands which are as exciting as they are beautiful (that carnival atmosphere seems permanently bound to Ipanema Beach for instance), but also wonderfully secluded spots too (Caraiva in Bahia and Carneiros in Pernambuco to name but two – both stretching on for miles).

However, South America offers many more delights than this.

In Argentina there’s that same mixture of lively places and idyllic places, from the exciting areas of Punta Mogotes in Mar del Plata and San Clemente in Buenos Aries, to peaceful El Doradillo in the province of Chubut, amongst many others;in Chile there’s scarcely less choice, and at Algarrobo there’s the added attraction of the world’s largest seawater swimming pool, and at Pichilemu many beaches which offer great conditions for a bit of surfing; another great place for the surf is Lobitos in Peru, and that same country also gives you such beautiful spots as Los Pocitas and Cabo Blanco, surrounded as they are by incredible scenery.

And then there’s Uruguay, Ecuador, Venezuela… In short, there really is a splendid time in the sun waiting for you almost wherever you go in South America.
