Rocha and La Paloma Day Trip



Today I went up the coast northeast from my house to La Paloma. I like to go to the beach at La Paloma to look for shells so that is what I did. It turned out to be a great day to be at the beach. The temperature was about 72-75 F and there was a nice breeze.

 First I stopped at Solari beach and picked up a few shells.

Then I went to the lighthouse in La Paloma and that is where I found the bulk of the shells.
The lighthouse is a very popular place for Uruguayans and tourists to go and look for shells.

There were a few other places I wanted to go in and around La Paloma, but I ran out of daylight so next time I will have to leave earlier and maybe even stay overnight in La Paloma or Rocha and then go further North.







I really like the topography of the beach in La Paloma. The rock formations on the beach are very different from anything I have ever seen before.
