Located in the department of Canelones in the south of Uruguay, about 45 kilometers from the capital city of Montevideo, Atlántida is one of the country's most famous seaside resorts. The town is known for its long stretches of golden sandy beaches, crystal clear waters of the North Atlantic Ocean and unique architecture, especially the Art Nouveau design of the "Iglesia del Pesebre" (Church of the Shells), an Art Nouveau church designed by the architect Eladio Diest, with a concrete shell structure that resembles a work of art. Atlantida's tranquil atmosphere lends itself to surfing, sunbathing and family relaxation, with local seafood restaurants serving fresh Uruguayan cuisine. Popular with tourists in the summer and more laid-back in the spring and fall, it's an ideal destination for experiencing Uruguayan beach life.
