Located next to the opening of the stream of the same name, the Atlantic Ocean bathes its coast. Account with ample beaches, of several kilometers of extension, of rich sands in banks of clams and whose waters surpass in several degrees to those of other bath. One releases dune chain, of up to 30 m.s of height, grants certain spectacularity to him to the landscape. It is outstanding place for the fans to the fishing of the black corvina and blond, they meet here annually. The Light of Claromecó is highest of the Argentina and second of South America. It has 60 meters of height and its construction obeyed to the necessity to try to avoid that the ships come near to the typical sandy banks of the zone, that make difficult the coastal navigation. The zone was in its remote origins residence of the tribes Puelches and Moluches, to those who a antiguedad of 13,000 years is assigned to them.

The made excavations have offered to stone instruments and human rest, that denote the existence of an indigenous cemetery. This amount and diversity of found elements reveal the presence of a group of permanent residence that possibly made its huntings by the marine coast maintaining its seat in one toldería located in the shore of the river.
The jesuitas, like in other zones of our country, were the precursors of the Buenosairean colonization when the Spaniards as soon as they dared cross a river Matanzas.

Thus new landowners will follow one another like: the Creek, the Alive ones, the Noriega, the Uriarte, propulsive of the colonization, the Lefrançois, the Jonas, the Massini, the Rodriguez Larreta, and the Bellocq. All pawned on consolidating the fecundity of these fields by the footpath of the work and the progress. Later Juan Bellocq acquired most of them and founded the stay "San Francisco". After their death, the children inherited earth and began to promote what they called "the corner of Claromeco ´". Quickly one became the site looked for by the villagers to enjoy the summers and the first houses of the villa began to build themselves towards 1910. In 1901 the first hotel was inaugurated, whose proprietor was Antonio Fernandez Molina. In 1919 the Bellocq family, considering the importance that had acquired the place like bath center, proposed to the Government of Buenos Aires the formation of the Claromecó Bath and like in charge of the mensura to engineer Arsenio Bergallo, the Claromecó bath was founded officially the 9 of November of 1920.
