Playa Chihuahua Dunes

The dunes and pine trails behind the naturist section of Playa Chihuahua, off Ruta 10 west of Punta del Este, are reported to be a long-running, informal gay cruising area. According to our data it is seasonal and busiest on summer weekday afternoons after about 6pm, with a more mixed crowd at weekends. We have not verified current activity. Naturism is legal on this beach and Uruguay is very LGBTQ-friendly, but cruising in public has no official status, so be discreet. Go in daylight or at busy times, avoid walking into the woods alone after dark, and keep valuables in the car or at home.
