Before you go

Official information lists foot showers, parking, walkways, toilets and lifeguards. Assisted bathing is available in summer with advance booking and only with a green flag. For a classic long sandy beach, La Mata or Los Náufragos are better fits.

Time-sensitive services, flag status and sea conditions can change. Check the official beach information and on-site notices on the day you visit.

Sources & transparency

For current information, we prefer official primary sources and clearly separate plans from changes that are already in place.

Plan it in practice

How to plan it

  1. Choose the beach by purpose first: short city stop, full beach day, family services, snorkelling or a dog-friendly option.
  2. Open the beach on the map before deciding how to get there; location often matters more than small differences in ratings.
  3. Check current flags and seasonal services on the day if accessibility, lifeguards or sea conditions are important.

Common mistakes

  • Choosing only from photos and then discovering that the beach type or services do not fit your day.
  • Treating a parking icon or listed service as a guarantee that it is available at that exact moment.
