Beach View - Necochea, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Rows of beach tents and a wide strip of sand stretch along the Atlantic at Necochea, in the south of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, and this camera looks down over the playa as the waves roll in from the open ocean.

The town was founded on October 12, 1881, and named after General Mariano Necochea, a hero of Argentina's War of Independence. Its beaches run for about 45 miles (72 km), and the town is about 328 miles (528 km) from Buenos Aires.

Necochea sits at the mouth of the Quequén Grande River, and the busy Port of Quequén, one of Argentina's most important, lies across the river. About 90,000 people live in the town.

Did You Know? Behind the beach lies Parque Miguel Lillo, a 1,580-acre (640 ha) seaside forest that is Argentina's only public maritime forest nature reserve.
