La Sirena Beach (Spanish: Playa La Sirena) is a beach located around two kilometers north of Aguas Dulces resort, in Rocha Department, Uruguay. It was officially designated as a naturist beach by the authorities of the government of Rocha. DescriptionIt is located at two and a half kilometers north from the beach of Aguas Dulces resort town. It can be reached going from Aguas Dulces, walking from the end of Cachimba y Faroles street through the beach or the sand dunes until reaching the sign posts.[1] It is a wide beach of thin sands in along the Atlantic Ocean shore, surrounded by sand dunes covered by psammophile vegetation, with minor wetlands, ponds and acacia trees.[2] FeaturesLa Sirena is a naturist beach, specially authorized by the department authorities for practising naturism and nudism, although it is a clothing-optional beach, not being mandatory to enter completely naked. It is the second naturist beach of Uruguay after Chihuahua beach in Maldonado Department, and it opened as such in 2012.[3] As in every beach, there are rules about hygiene and protection of the environment, but there are also specific rules related to this kind of beach: to respect the personal space of the other naturist people, to not stare at other persons persistently or in a lustful way, nor to take photos or record videos of anyone without their consent.[2] The beach does not have its own lifeguard support and its tourist infrastructure is underdeveloped,[2] therefore, in order to seek for housing or food is necessary to travel to Aguas Dulces resort.[3] For tourism-related inquiries, these can be done at the tourist information office of the government of Rocha, in the crossing of Route 16 and Cachimba y Flores street in Aguas Dulces resort.[1] See alsoReferences
