Montevideo has a fantastic promenade that stretches along a lengthy expanse of its coastline. We passed a chilly but sunny day exploring it on some rented bikes. The beaches were mostly deserted except for a few locals playing catch with their dogs, but the promenade itself was bustling with people jogging and the benches along side it were laced with amorous couples. Despite the bracing wind, it was the place to be.
The overall feel of the beach area and promenade reminded me of an older, more established Tampa, Florida. Much more suburban than say, Miami, and certainly more sedate. The water itself looked pretty dicey. Just based on appearances, I'd say its seems more polluted looking than Coney Island. Word is,the nice beaches are further away from the city proper (Hamptons anyone?).
So yeah, that's the scoop on MV.
