Unahermosa is located on the banks of the Uruguay River and is the ideal destination to enjoy the summer in a peaceful way, away from the stress of the big city. Among white sandy beaches, charming sunsets, and good cuisine, this serene island is located less than an hour from two very touristic towns in the province of Entre Ríos, namely Colón and Gualeguaychú, and it stands out as an ideal family-friendly destination.
It is the Isla del Puerto, which is part of Concepción del Uruguay, has more than 3 kilometers of public beach, and is immersed in a natural environment of great scenic beauty, opposite the urban center of the city. The Isla del Puerto is connected by a bridge to the city of Concepción del Uruguay. Previously, this beautiful resort could only be reached by boat, but on January 13, 2015, a 210-meter-long bridge was inaugurated that connects the island to Concepción del Uruguay, and now tourists can also arrive by car.
On the island, swimming in the river is allowed in designated areas, walks along the beach can be taken, and there is also the chance to practice water sports such as kayaking. The Stella Maris lighthouse, located in Concepción del Uruguay, is unique in its kind.
The island has a waterfront avenue with two-way traffic that is very well lit and equipped with restrooms, shower areas, and private boat ramps. The Stella Maris lighthouse, unique in its kind, was inaugurated in 1949 in the access channel to the port of Concepción del Uruguay. It stands out as the only river lighthouse in the world and measures 12 meters in height.
