What is there to do in Boca De Cufre?
The resort is ideal to fish, go for walks and swim and generally chill out and enjoy the sea and beaches. Outside of the season it is a superb location do absolutely nothing and be at one with nature and go for long walks on the beach and in the dunes. In the season there is a Club de Pescadores which offers excursions to go fishing from boats. In the same building is located a rustic restaurant which offers freshly caught fish. In the high season it is great for small children to enjoy the beach and all that the sea offers.
The Fishing
As the house is situated right on the estuary of the River Cufre the fishing can be superb. The river has a variety of fish including the famous fighting Dorado – in fact it was from the terrace of the house that I caught my first Dorado which we then ate that evening - what a thrill! In the house are a couple of basic fishing rods which you can use and we can arrange to get some bait to you – if the fish are biting you will have the time of your lives – and your supper too!
The Walks
The area is great for long walks on the beach and in the dunes - if you walk in the evening you will see some of the best sunsets you have ever seen.
The River Plate
The River Cufre flows into the River Plate. You will find beautiful white sand and swimming in the river is very safe – it is shallow and warm from November till April – some people swim in it all year round.
