We anchored in Punta del Este a bit later than planned around 9:30. By the time we were cleared to go ashore (they take the folks going on tours to shore first) it was 10:30 am. We spent the day walking around the city, primarily enjoying the beach and the waterfront. We did get to the famous "hand" sculpture and had our picture taken. 
Of course we continued our routine with a fabulous lunch and an Aperol Spritz! Uruguay is on the International Living top 10 list for retirement so we are very interested in determining if this is a place we'd like to return to - not to retire but maybe for 6-8 weeks.  
The beach is great, with lots of water sports and umbrellas and chairs for rent. There are loads of apt along the waterfront for rent and great restaurants. It was a lovely warm and humid day.
We loved it - we even took some photos of the vacation rental buildings so we could remember where they are when we get back home. 
The best part - we spotted a penguin swimming near the beach - so much fun!
