Barra del Chuy is a resort (balneario) in the Rocha Department of southeastern Uruguay. Its name means Mouth of Chui (stream). It is the last coastal resort of Uruguay, bordering Brazil to the southeast with the stream Arroyo Chui as the natural border.

Geography

The resort is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, in a southeastern direction into a road that spits from Route 9 about 6km (04miles) before Chuy. It borders the resort Puimayen to the southwest.

History

In the summer of 1994, the yellow cold-water clams on a 13order=flipNaNorder=flip stretch of beach near the town experienced a massive die-off due to the warming waters in the South Atlantic blob, a hot spot of 130000order=flipNaNorder=flip of ocean which has warmed 2C-change over the last century.[1]

Population

In 2011 Barra del Chuy had a population of 370 permanent inhabitants and 1,021 dwellings.[2]
