Bahía Creek

Bahía Creek is a beach settlement in the Adolfo Alsina department, on the northern shore of the San Matías Gulf, 135 km from Viedma and 100 km from El Cóndor. It is reached by provincial route 1, which follows the coast (from Viedma, 60 km paved to La Lobería and 55 km of gravel), and by provincial route 51. Almost all its houses are summer and weekend homes: the 2022 census counted about 54 people.

Things to do

• The beach: huge, with cliffs of about 30 metres and a big dune at its edge. Many call it a secret paradise of Patagonia; the water is about as warm as on the Buenos Aires coast.
• Sunsets over the gulf.
• Fishing: there is an anglers’ club.

Services

There is no phone signal, petrol station, mains water or electricity grid: houses run on solar panels or generators. There is a free Arsat wifi point, a small shop and some lodging (camping, hostel, domes or rental houses).
