About
Raske fakta: Gylden sand, livlig strandpromenade og et yrende utvalg av strandbarer gjør stedet perfekt for soling, folkekikking og et glass cava ved vannkanten. Når solen går ned, fylles himmelen av oransje og rosa farger mens strandvolleyballturneringer og gateartister skaper en elektrisk stemning.
Høydepunkter: Tidlig om morgenen strekker den over 1,1 kilometer lange stranden seg med gyllen sand, og saltlukten blandes med duften av rykende 'bombas' fra La Cova Fumada. En lokal kuriositet er at gamle fiskere ennå tilbyr fersk fangst fra små båter direkte på sanden, og Frank Gehrys 56 meter lange gullfisk kaster glitrende refleksjoner ved solnedgang, noe som gjør kveldene ekstra fotogene.
Insider tips
- Wear water-friendly sandals, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen for long hours on sand and boardwalk.
- Head to the far western end by the W Hotel for dramatic sea-and-sky photos, or capture local life near the small fishing piers.
- Arrive before 10:00 in summer to beat crowds and secure a good spot, or come after 18:00 for cooler air and local atmosphere.
- Skip the busiest beachfront restaurants at peak hours; walk two blocks inland for cheaper, authentic tapas and faster service.
