The actual beach itself is a long 210 meters strip of sand and sea but Playa del Arenal is the only location on the whole beach to have gorgeous palm trees growing everywhere. Free parking is available in the streets behind the beach but in the summer it can get quite busy so make sure to get there early.

There is a separate area for sports to be played on the beach to ensure as little disruption for those looking to lay in the sunshine and relax. The waters are shallow with sandy banks and so is perfect for families and those traveling with young children or the elderly.
