Beaches

We have three excellent beaches in close walking distance. All three face south, so they get the sun all day. The sand is golden, and the water is crystal clear.

Playa Grande

6-7 minute walk down the hill

Playa Grande is the long beach (well over a kilometre) that runs in front of Avenida de las Playas ("the Strip"). It has many sunbeds and parasols for rent. Current charges are €10.50 for two loungers and a parasol, or €7 for a single sunbed and parasol. These are managed by the local council, who also manage the well-maintained toilets and outdoor showers.

Playa Fariones

7-8 minute walk down the hill

To the right of Playa Grande and over a short walkway is Playa Fariones. You might think this tiny beach belongs to the Fariones Hotel, but in fact it's public, and even has a handful of the council's sunbeds. Current charges are €10.50 for two loungers and a parasol, or €7 for a single sunbed and parasol.

Playa Chica

8-10 minute walk down the hill - No beds here

Past that is the famous Playa Chica. Bigger than Playa Fariones but still only 90m long, it's very popular with the locals, especially on Sundays. There is a new cafe bar (Beach Club Playa Fariones) on one side, and a restaurant (Bar Playa) on the pier on the other. The pier is where many of the diving schools operate, so if you want to try snorkeling or scuba diving, this is a good place to go.
