Brazilian travelers received an official notice from Maldonado authorities for parking their motorhome on Playa Brava beach in Punta del Este. They left without a fine but expressed disappointment on social media.

Brazilian tourists traveling in a motorhome received an official warning from the municipality of Maldonado for parking their vehicle on Playa Brava beach in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The incident was based on a 2016 resolution that prohibits parking of recreational vehicles and trailers in the coastal zone outside designated areas.

According to reports, the tourists had been at the spot for about a week. Over the weekend, local authorities enforced the regulation, after which the travelers left the beach without further sanctions. However, they voiced their displeasure on social media, stating they would no longer spend money in this city.

The case has sparked public debate and serves as a reminder of the rules governing motorhome parking in popular Uruguayan resort areas.

In Miami, 200 families are being evicted from a motorhome park by September, while Córdoba is only just applying for permission for a new overnight area.

Motorhome and caravan popularity rises in Uruguay

Motorhome and caravan communities in Uruguay report over 1,000 such vehicles in the country. Popularity increased after the pandemic, with demand segmented: young couples often opt for lightweight trailers or camper vans, while motorhomes are preferred by an older demographic. A key challenge remains the lack of specialized infrastructure for parking and servicing.
