"La Plata is an incredible beach, with its vast expanse of sand and plenty of beach bars. After 9pm, it's the place to be with its live concerts and stunning sunsets. You'd be crazy to miss out on a day here - and don't worry about parking, there's a cheap lot in town that'll keep your car safe all day."

Enjoy the cool ocean breeze and the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. It's a great place to escape and unwind."
