Beaches
A long and sandy beach runs the length of the resort and beyond. The background scenery varies for the length of the beach and, for the most part, it is backed by a pedestrianised promenade with boardwalks onto the beach. The beach runs seamlessly into La Antilla, where it is backed a residential road or with villas directly on the sands.
Things to Do
Walk along the dune backed beach towards El Rompido for approx 4km and you will find yourself on the sandy spit called La Flecha. From here you can take a boat or the ferry across to El Rompido marina or, further along, you can cross over to Nuevo Portil.
Activities such as sailing, fishing, windsurfing, scuba diving, hiking, birdwatching and horse-riding are all readily available.
Out and About

In the adjoining town of La Antilla you will find more shops and pavement cafes, particularly along the coloured pedestrianised street of Avenida Castilla, as well as beach bars and tapas bars.
