Counting the waves…
The soft, light sand of Malvín South Beach invites you to settle in, with the gentle lapping of the Río de la Plata providing a soothing soundtrack. Unlike the more popular stretches of Malvín, this smaller, south-facing segment retains a distinctly local feel, making it a true hidden gem for those in the know. The waters here are calm and shallow, ideal for wading, relaxed swimming, and safe play for children, rather than surfing. The fine sand is perfect for sun bathing or building sandcastles, offering a comfortable surface for a day of leisure. OnlyBeaches recognizes its unique charm and local appeal, placing it in the C-tier for its relaxed atmosphere and accessibility. This beach truly shines in the late morning, when the sun is warm but the crowds are still minimal, or in the late afternoon as the golden hour casts a beautiful glow over the river. It's perfectly suited for families, couples, or solo visitors looking for a peaceful urban retreat. For a truly local experience, grab a 'refresco' and some 'bizcochos' from a nearby 'panadería' and enjoy them right on the sand – it’s a simple pleasure many locals cherish.
