Playa Flamenca

The main Playa Flamenca Beach is just a short walk from the central commercial district and residential areas. The beach is cleaned daily although when the sea gets rough it can bring with it a good amount of algae and seaweed. The fine sand shelves quite gently but there are a few rocks in the water so some visitors wear swimming slippers. At either end of the beach there are rocky areas to explore for those with snorkelling gear.

Lifeguards are on duty and during the summer months there is a first aid post on the beach. Amenities include thatched parasols, sun loungers for hire, foot showers and toilets. there is also a children's play area, beach volleyball and a lively wooden beach bar. The bar serves all sorts of drinks, sangria, cocktails and a selection of snacks such as pizza and hamburgers.

North Beach
A further snack bar with terrace seating and great views can be found above the beach on the picturesque coastal path. The bay a couple of minutes north of Playa Flamenca Beach is similar in size but doesn't have as good facilities. Behind this beach is a small commercial centre where visitors can enjoy refreshments and views in the popular Surfers Bar & Grill. There is also a bakery, ice cream parlour and a couple of eateries including the Lobster Restaurant.
