Playa de la Victoria

Über

Schnelle Fakten: Nearly 3 kilometers of fine, pale gold sand runs along the town's edge as one of the longest urban beaches in the region. A blustery day whips up Atlantic chop tall enough for surfers, yet the water near the breakwaters stays shallower and calm enough for small children.

Highlights: At low tide you can walk far beyond the surf line across the exposed seabed, and the wet sand glistens while the whole town's skyline shrinks behind you. On a breezy afternoon, dozens of kite surfers launch at once, and their bright sails flicker overhead like a flock of oversized birds.

Insidertipps

• Bring water shoes for the north end's breakwater rocks, where the bottom turns slippery and uneven.
• Set up near the volleyball courts to watch impromptu matches and catch the liveliest stretch of the beach.
• Pack a windbreaker even on hot days, because the afternoon sea breeze arrives fast and can feel chilly.
• Climb the promenade steps in the last hour of sunlight for a wide view of the bay turning gold.
