It is considered to be the border between the Rio de la Plata and the Atlantic Ocean. For this reason it is one of the only beach resorts in the world to have two different kinds of beaches: La Brava, which has waves that make it ideal for surfing; and La Mansa, which has no waves and is popular among families and also those who practise sports such as windsurfing and skiing. Its beaches are lined with large numbers of high-rise buildings and hotels, and it has become a major vacation spot for people from different countries all over the world with about 600,000–700,000 people visiting the city yearly.

A violent Marxist urban guerrilla movement, the Tupamaros, launched in the late 1960s, led Uruguay's president to agree to military control of his administration in 1973. By yearend, the rebels had been crushed, but the military continued to expand its hold throughout the government. Civilian rule was not restored until 1985.
