A sandbank separates it from the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal lagoon was previously served by a small 2-vehicle ferry that required daylight and good weather to operate; in December 2015, the Laguna Garzón Bridge on Route 10 was opened to vehicular traffic, providing a crossing for pedestrians and up to approximately 1,000 vehicles a day.[1]
A birdwatching site, it was designated part of the National System of Protected Areas in Uruguay.[2]
The nearest famous seaside resort is José Ignacio.
