Mar del Plata is the largest seaside city in Argentina, on the Atlantic coast of Buenos Aires Province. It is the country's classic summer resort, busiest from December to February, when beaches such as Playa Grande, Playa Bristol and the beaches south of the city fill with visitors.
Beyond the beach, the city is known for its waterfront casino and the Rambla promenade, the sea lion colony at the port, its seafood restaurants and the alfajores sold all over the country. Outside summer it is a working city and a base for exploring the coast.
