Laguna José Ignacio (José Ignacio Lagoon) is a body of water located in Maldonado Department, Uruguay. A sandbank separates it from the Atlantic Ocean. The nearest seaside resort is José Ignacio.
Environment The lagoon is an important birdwatching location. It has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of non-breeding Chilean flamingos, wintering Olrog's gulls, and resident bay-capped wren-spinetails and black-and-white monjitas.
