Then, and as a first step in a long-term projection, these pioneers decided to reforest the place. To initially improve the soil, they brought earth from the city of pains. It was thus that pine trees of different species, willows, poplars and eucalyptus were planted, but the development and spread of the former led to the fact that this town is now known as “The beach of the million pines”.
Later they began with the opening of the paths, a task that was carried out respecting the gentle undulation of the terrain. Although most of its streets were preserved with sand, the main avenues and main streets were paved, so that none of the 4,700 plots of land that make up the geography of Costa del Este is beyond 300 meters from a paved artery. Little by little the streets were opened, some of which remain closed even today due to the renewed vegetation and will gradually open up as progressive urbanization progresses. Then the electrical network and communication networks were laid.
Why choose East Coast
Everything developed in a balanced way, in such a way that over the years many tourists got to know this beautiful place and were enchanted by its charm. It is that Costa del Este offered them a preferential contact with nature. Sea, forest and an incipient and orderly urbanization that few places, not so far from the Federal Capital and Greater Buenos Aires, can offer.
Consequently, the area was nourished by beautiful weekend houses and distinguished vacation complexes; a building growth that has not ceased to this day, although with the fortune of having the restrictions and particularities determined by its building code, which has protected the aesthetics and the environment in its sustained progress; achieving that today we can be proud of its architecture, a balanced mixture of bricks and forest. In fact, the beautiful houses with their colorful parks, give Costa del Este a beauty that combines nature with the hand of man and shows us that it is possible.
the safety pins
When thinking about accommodation, today the tourist looks much further than comfort and relaxation. The idea is to find a place that offers a 360° experience. This is the concept of the Almarena Apart & Hotel Boutique.

Currently, the complex offers 19 suites for 2 people and 40 apartments for 2 to 8 people, fully equipped. The proposal is complemented by a complete SPA circuit that includes cabinets for body treatments, 2 heated pools covered with a sliding roof, which allows them to be used regardless of weather conditions, a gym with state-of-the-art machines, SUM with games, a micro-cinema and a reading rooms, a spacious and modern room for events with a panoramic view of the sea.
For those seeking a more active life, the hotel has bicycles for the use of its guests with which they can enjoy the forest and the beach. They can also use the gym that is equipped with high-performance Uranium machines (treadmills, stair climbers, bicycles, weights, etc.)
A separate chapter deserves its Noi restaurant, an icon of gastronomy on the Argentine coast. Almarena uses rigorously selected seasonal raw materials, resulting in self-made products and dishes that stand out for their quality. It is directed by the Venezuelan Chef Abraham Tovarwho, having been born in a country surrounded by the Caribbean Sea, has a great understanding of each product from the sea and its techniques to apply to endless exotic and exquisite species.
“In addition to our traditional menu, we want our guests to dare a little more and travel through their palates while maintaining the identity of a beach restaurant,” says Tovar.
the path of the moon
The moon path It is an excursion that is contracted in advance and consists of entering the sea accompanied by lifeguards and flotation elements, such as screw torpedoes and boards to watch the sunset from the sea and then leave using the reflection that the moon makes on the waves as a guide. . The entrance to the sea is done at sunset to be able to enjoy the sunset and the moonrise simultaneously
The excursion includes a brief orientation talk about the behavior of the sea and characteristics of the coastline (with useful data for the bather)
contemplate the sunset
And why not take some good pictures. Going south along Calle Los Pensamientos to Avenida 7 (dirt road), you can leave your vehicle parked and get out and walk a few meters to watch the sun go down between a small mountain of pine and eucalyptus trees. At that time there is usually a lot of movement of birds worth observing.
night tour
If we travel through Costa del Este at night, moving away from the commercial and high-density area (from Calle Interbalnearia towards route 11), during the early morning it is common to see some European hares that are loose in search of food. For the same reason we recommend driving with extreme caution and not disturbing them.
the moon over the sea
For those who want to enjoy a beautiful natural spectacle, we recommend observing the moonrise time to go and contemplate this moment from the beach. If the day is not cloudy and the moon is full, it will offer us a delight for the eyes and a relaxation for the unparalleled spirit.

On Interbalnearia Avenue and 7th Street you will find Hugo with his horses. Hugo organizes guided night outings, on full moon nights, through the forest to the beach. There are also horse rentals during the day
the cookie boat
Curious name that designates this ship of which absolutely nothing is known and that due to its dimensions and size it is believed that it was a very strong vessel, used for loading and unloading. There are those who say that very close there was a dune called “de la galleta” that gave the name to the ship.
know the forest
A spectacular circuit for a bike ride or walk through the forest. It has two entrances; one on Las Camelias street and Av. 5 and another on Av. Interbalnearia and Av. 6; can also be reached from the beach. It is one of the wildest places in Costa del Este, there are still sand dunes covered with pine needles and native white fox tails.
shopping walk
