San Antonio Oeste
Discover the charm of the port
Would you like to see fishermen mooring their boats after a day at sea? There, where the waters of the Atlantic bathe San Antonio bay, San Antonio Oeste is waiting for you. Discover a city with fine-sand beaches and a deep-water port. Find everything from small boats to deep-draft vessels. Do you like water sports? Practice windsurfing and canoeing, water skiing and freediving.
Walk along the waterfront and pause to observe the tides. Tour the beaches and discover the charm of the fishing pier. Drop by the old railway district and don't miss Punta Verde, a traditional fishermen place. And to learn more about nature and anthropology, visit the permanent exhibition of the Jacobacci Museum, which is waiting for you in a house that was built more than a century ago.
