Laguna Garzón

Laguna 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.

A birdwatching site, it was designated part of the National System of Protected Areas in Uruguay.

The nearest famous seaside resort is José Ignacio.
