Playa Bristol
Playa Bristol is a public beach in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Historically a destination for the upper class from Buenos Aires, it is now a central coastal area used for walking along the shore and relaxing by the Atlantic Ocean.
Getting There
The beach is located within the urban area of Mar del Plata. From the city centre, it is accessible via a short taxi ride or a walk of approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your starting point.
