this beach stretches all the way into the adjacent town of Playa del Ingles. It is a very pleasant walk although a very fresh breeze tends to come off the sea. The beach is sandy with an inviting sea lapping on to it. There two segments which permit nudism. The most striking characteristic are the enormous sand dunes which are... More

Great day out, sand dunes are amazing and the camel rides are great fun and very reasonable. Only down side is watch out for the African women trying to con you out of money with their stupid bracelets on the pathway between the beach and the camel rides.

The only thing which you have to be mindful is that there is a nudist area, which can make it difficult if you are with young children in particular. This should not be a problem in... More

Lots of sun and sand, but both days I tried to go to the beach it was too windy. Even with an umbrella to break the wind it was unpleasant. I preferred to sit by the hotel pool.
