Are there any beaches in Buenos Aires?
There are no real beaches in the city, and there are not really any near the city. The Buenos Aires beach town is Mar del Plata which is about a 5 or 6 hour bus ride from Buenos Aires. During the summer, Mar del Plata becomes a mini Buenos Aires because anyone who escapes the summer heat in the city goes to Mar del Plata. My girlfriend lives in and grew up in Buenos Aires so she knows it like the back of her hand and this summer she took me to Mar del Plata.
