Punta del Este (East End) is a popular vacation spot on the southeastern tip of Uruguay, southeast of the inland traditional town of Maldonado and about 140 km east Montevideo. It is considered to be the border between the Rio de la Plata and the Atlantic Ocean. For this reason it is one of the only beach resorts in the world to have two different kinds of beaches: La Brava, which has waves that make it ideal for surfing; and La Mansa, which has no waves and is popular among families and also those who practise sports such as windsurfing and skiing. Every southern hemisphere summer ¨Punta¨ is flooded with hi-class porteños as well as some of the world's jet set making it an ideal clubbing resort at Latin-American prices.
