In this article, we review seven of the best beaches in this area of the island.
Our first of three man-made (and thus ‘family-friendly’) beaches in the Peurto del Carmen area is known as the Playa Grande. This is the most central and has a magnificent promenade of bars and restaurants running along its kilometre of golden sand (100m wide). The placid waters is this part of the island make it ideal for windsurfing.

It is more than a kilometre long (1,23 m) and 150 m. wide. High tide leaves pools of sea water on its flat surface.

Our fifth at Playa de Matagorda, part of the development by the same name has a windy measuring 850m and 40m wide, consisting of fine golden sand and calm waters, which make it a popular resort for windsurfing, particularly those of limited capability or beginners. Due to its proximity to the airport and the occasionsl noise from aircraft taking off and landing, it is not as crowded as the other beaches in this area, but it is nevertheless worth a visit. This has rentals for beds/parasols and a variety of water sports on hand. You can get to it by guaguas (autobus).
Our sixth is at Lima and measures 900m long and 50m wide, consisting of fine toasted sand (mix of fine golden sand and small picon, the small lava stones), this is a windy with calm waters, again ideal for first time windsurfers.
