Banco Miguel is a prominent sandy shoal and ebb-tidal delta located at the mouth of the Río Negro estuary on the Atlantic coast of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. This dynamic marine environment is characterized by well-sorted fine sand and is part of a mesotidal coastal system. The shoal forms alongside Banco La Hoya, and together they constitute the estuary's ebb delta, which exhibits an asymmetrical shape primarily influenced by northward longshore sediment transport. The area is a significant geomorphological feature where active channels separate the shoal from the mainland coast, with water movement strongly governed by tidal cycles.

The primary fishing spots are the underwater structures created by the shoal system. The Banco Miguel shoal itself, composed of well-sorted fine sand, is a major structure. The active secondary channel that separates Banco Miguel from the coast is a key area, particularly as it carries tidal flow. The formation of 2D dunes on the shoal bed indicates micro-structures that create current breaks and ambush points. The entire ebb-tidal delta complex, including its relationship with Banco La Hoya, forms a large area of submerged structure attractive to marine life.
