Lagoon on the Atlantic seashore in Uruguay
34°46′00″S 54°33′00″W / 34.76667°S 54.55000°W / -34.76667; -54.55000Laguna José Ignacio (José Ignacio Lagoon) is a body of water located between Maldonado Department and Rocha Department, Uruguay.
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.
