Los Pocitos Emerges as Buenos Aires Province’s Off-Grid Turquoise Beach Draw for Summer 2026

Set within the Bahía San Blas reserve, the tiny village promises turquoise water, wild oyster banks, rare quiet.

Overview

  • National outlets are spotlighting Los Pocitos as a low-density alternative to crowded resorts for the coming summer season.
  • Access is via Ruta Nacional 3 to kilometer 918 and a maintained gravel road, roughly 900 kilometers from Buenos Aires in about 10–11 hours by car.
  • The settlement has about 60–70 residents, sparse services, and reports indicate there is no cellular signal in the area.
  • Los Pocitos lies inside the 16,000-hectare Bahía San Blas protected wetland, a biodiverse zone of islands with notable birdlife and calm, sheltered seas.
  • The coast hosts extensive wild oyster banks, and the community identifies as Argentina’s only oyster village with a Provincial Oyster Festival each January.
