Among the extensive list can be highlighted some as: Salinas, Pinamar, Marindia, Villa Argentina, Atl\u00e1ntida, Las Toscas, Parque del Plata, La Floresta, Costa Azul, Bello Horizonte, Cuchilla Alta, and Jaureguiberry, among several others.\r\n\r\nThey are family resorts, adapted to the needs of the middle class; without great luxuries but with all the comforts and services that an average tourist needs.\r\n\r\nThe beaches of the region have white and very fine sands, which are ideal for the practice of sports and, being located on a river nicknamed \"as big as the sea\", they have an oceanic appearance.\r\n\r\nTouring the Gold Coast as a whole by car is highly recommended for the diversity of landscapes that can be found in just a few kilometers. Solitary beaches, beaches full of bathers, flat sands, sand dunes, natural pools, big waves, and pine forests are just some examples.\r\n\r\nAfter the spectacular summer sunsets, when the sun hides behind the sea, the night presents a good number of possibilities. The main center of the nightlife is in the Atlantida beach resort, where there is an important gastronomic center, a casino and several pubs and discos.\r\n\r\nAlong the Costa de Oro, during the summer period (December to March), you can also find several free open-air shows.\r\n\r\nAccess from Montevideo is very easy, and in less than an hour's drive along the Gianattassio avenues and the Interbalnearia route, the Gold Coast is a beach oasis within easy reach.","primary_image":"[{\"id\":3143,\"url\":\"https:\/\/uruguaynatural.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/2019-Alexis-Noquet-Costa-de-Oro-Alta-22-scaled.jpg\"}]","secondary_image":"[]","gallery_images":"[]","enable_map":"1","coord_lat":"","coord_lng":"","locations":"-34.77450784757788,-55.75821538625249","department":"Canelones","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uruguaynatural.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/places\/2921","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uruguaynatural.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/places"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uruguaynatural.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/places"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uruguaynatural.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uruguaynatural.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"place-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uruguaynatural.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place-categories?post=2921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
