Location

The resort is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) in a southeastern direction into a road that spits from Route 9 about 6 kilometres (4 mi) before Chuy. It borders the resort Puimayen to the southwest.

History

In the summer of 1994, the yellow cold-water clams on a 21-kilometre (13 mi) 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 340,000 km2 (130,000 sq mi) of ocean which has warmed 2 °C (4 °F) over the last century. [1]

Population

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