If you think about - go for it. Don't be afraid because of the comments of bad road. Take your time, be carefull at the sanddune in the road (see warning post). If you take the short bypass you will not need 4x4 till here.

Amazing nature - Orcas are still here. Hunting in water and on beach. The drive is absolutely worth it!!!
The climb down to the beach is also not to difficult. Check it out. If you are a nature lover, you have to come here.

Now the street is dry - in case of rain, there are muddy passages.

We understand that we are very lucky based on the comments, but this was a lifetime highlight wildlife watching experience. Orcas beaching themselves and successfully hunting seals. Really incredible. We waited for several hours and they came cruising down the beach a bit after high tide, and stayed in the area hunting for close to two hours. They came back the next day at the same time, but the seals were luckier. 

Worth the drive 10x over to get to see such a sight. Good campspots a little south of this pin if you have 4x4.

We were unlucky. Over the two day we spent here, the orcas did not show up.
But watching the sealions or seaelephants is fun, they are great. You can climb down where you see a rope going down. It’s not a hard hike, anyone can do it.

Fantastic place to camp and watch the ocean all day.

Schöne Aussicht? Ja!
Aber dafür 100 km Schotter/Wellblechpiste? Nein!
Die Kletteraktion runter zum Strand für ungeübte? Nein!!
Nach längerem Regen ist die Anfahrt ohne 4x4 eher nicht möglich…
Seelöwen waren nur wenige am Strand zu sehen.

Great place to stay and enjoy the wilderness. Great views, no phone service but amazing sunset and sunrise. Some glass and sharp things sometime so be careful when you park and move your car.
Gravel road not too bad, bumpy and sandy but ok for any kind of vehicle if dry weather. Not recommended though if it’s raining without a 4*4
As said before you can reach the beach through the steep with the rope. Nice colony of 50 or more sea elephants 300m on the left.
They are funny to watch, so enjoy without disturbing them :)

Great place at the coast. Quite windy and no shelter around. Good to watch whales and orcas. On the beach there are see lions and see elephants, you can walk down from the cliffs (there's a rope). Such places are priceless.

The road from Puerto Madryn is okay. In dry conditions it took us around 2 hours. No need for 4x4, just patience 😊

Spot at the top of the cliff. There is a descent to the beach that seems harder than it really is. In lower colony of elephant seals which you can see very closely. We stayed 3 days but did not see orcas. Practical track for all vehicles even if it is in poor condition.

spot en haut de la falaise. il y a une descente vers la plage qui parait plus dure qu’elle n’est réellement. en bas colonie d’éléphants de mer que vous pouvez voir de très près. nous sommes restés 3 jours mais n’avons pas vu d’orques. piste praticable pour tout véhicules même si elle est en mauvais état.

No elephant seal, no orcas end of March! If you really want to try your luck take the road from Puerto Madryn it's at least a little better and 20km shorter.

This was an incredible experience for us. We stayed for 4 days. The peninsula is flat with strong winds at times. We saw orcas hunting along the shore at each high tide. There was a nature film crew from BBC that came every day. The owner came by and showed us the place to hike down to the beach. Let’s keep this diamond clean :)

Only 10-20 elephant seals for us in this season, no whales, no orcas... we watched the sea may be 3h in the evening (nice sunset by the way) and 1h in the next morning... disappointing. Plus, 150km of bad ripio is hard and tiring (but ok without 4x4 during a dry week)... not sure it’s worth the travel... still a nice and lonely stiff, quite pleasant if there is no wind... don’t go there if is rainy !!!!

Lovely spot to stay, it was very windy in the daytime but it died down during the night. Plenty of elephant seals down on the beach below.

Stayed for 2 nights but didn't see any whale or dolphin. 4 elephant seals that's it, but beside of that its a gorgeous place to camp. Two ways are leading down to the beach, the first here the second 300-400 meters further along the cliff (fishermen using this at low tide).
In dry condition all the roads are no problem for any car!

Wonderful remote spot, we were alone during 2 nights. Only few day tourists. Meeting the sea-elephants is stunning and unique. Orcas patrolled as well. Even we had a period without rain before, the road to Trelew was terrible with lots of wet patches and really bad mud, impassable. We had to leave the road several times, often via detours, but we even drove through the bush, 4x4 absolutely necessary. When it’s wet, take the way to Puerto Marlyn.

really awesome place on top of the cliff. we came from Rawson, the weather was good and the road easy. if it's raining we wouldn't recommend without 4x4 as it gets really muddy. unfortunately too windy for us to stay overnight with our pop-up camper but we got down really close to loads of seals. no whales today, but because it was low tide
we could collect some mussels for dinner.

Bei Nässe nur mit 4WD!
Mussten mit einem Womo 6 km vorher aufgeben und auf der Straße übernachten. Am nächsten Tag ohne Regen beschwerlich aber machbar.
Die Seeelefanten, die über eine Strickleiter direkt am Strand zu erreichen waren, sind ein Highlight. Wir hatten hunderte. Einfach toll.

We visited this place. Here are many sea elephants but the access down to the beach is only possible with a hanging ladder, be careful. The road to here can be very tricky and muddy if its wet. An alternativ is Playa Escondida some km further south with lots of sea elephants and an better access. Pos. s43.67569 w65.34176

Schöner Platz am Ende einer z.T. zerfurchten Piste. Auf dem Plateau hoch über dem Wasser ist es sehr windig. Zu den Seeelefanten kann Mannschaft einem steilen Einstieg runter laufen.

Very nice and lonely spot, elephant seals, whales, birds, we spent 4 nights here.

Only one lonely elephant seals but NO orcas mid March :( There is a wonderful spot with great views and windprotection. Had a good time here. Quiet, only fisherman around. Only negative aspect were the flies since we didn't have any wind.

Amazing spot. With good ground clearance you can drive further down the cliffs and find some features to hide from the wind. Seen a pod of Orcas 10m from shore according to a wildlife photography we met they have been in this bay for the last 9 days at high tide. Don't forget the elephant seals and a random penguin as well!

After being totally disappointed with the Valdes Park we came here and were blown away! This is the best place we have stayed yet! Beautiful views. There is a semi-carved out stairway down to the beach (can be a difficult climb) to see the elephant seals. You can get as close as you want to them and there are hundreds. We were here in November and also watched the whales breach close to shore in the mornings. This spot is unreal! Highly recommend. Tough, long road to get out but well worth it. Bring lots of water.

Road condition is pretty good unless, maybe if it rains. Well worth the visit to see the elephant seals!

The2Dutch. Nice place, Pity that the path to the beach with Sea Lions is very steep. The road to this (5 and 6) are very dusty.

Report Check-In

Road is now well graded & not too bad. Beautiful spot on cliffs but very exposed to wind. The climb down the cliff to the beach is a bit precarious with a rope-ladder down a small section of the cliff-face, but it's worth it to get down to the beach. Even when it was very windy on top, it was sheltered and calm down below.
