Timeline
19:15
Grab a coffee or a light bite at Macoco Café. It is open until 20:00 on weekdays and 20:00 on Saturdays, giving you time to finish before heading out. If you are visiting on a Sunday, this place is closed, so skip it and head straight to the beach.
19:45
Walk east to Pocitos Beach. The 36-minute walk from the anchor gets you to the eastern edge where the big Montevideo sign is. Arrive just before golden light hits to find a good spot for photos as the sky turns orange.
20:30
Head back west for dinner. Enriqueta is a 9-minute walk from the anchor area and serves home cooked meals. It is open until 01:00 on Mondays, 01:00 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 02:00 on Thursdays and Fridays, 02:00 on Saturdays, and 01:00 on Sundays. This is a reliable spot for a late evening meal.
21:00
Finish the night with a drink at De toque y toque bar. It is a 9-minute walk from the anchor and stays open late. Hours vary by day: until 18:00 on Mondays, 01:00 on Tuesdays, 02:00 on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 03:00 on Fridays, and 03:00 on Saturdays. Check the specific day you are visiting to ensure it is still open.
Local tip
The walk from Pocitos Beach back to the anchor area is westward. Most of the food and drink options are clustered near the anchor, making the return trip efficient after your sunset photo session.
