Below the busy promenade, the authorities of San Antonio have created a long, wide beach of fine, white sand drawn from the sea. Being easy to walk to, and backed by holiday accommodation, this beach is popular but never appears too full.

The waters are shallow, safe, and great for messing about in – perfect for what is largely a youth-focused beach in the summer. Being the closest beach to San Antonio workers’ blocks and youth hostels (meaning plenty of PRs on the prowl), in summer it is full of twenty-somethings socialising and relaxing, with music often spilling out from the many bars along the promenade.

There are excellent watersports facilities and boat trips can be caught to other beaches from the nearby harbour. In the evenings the beach is awash in a golden light, and becomes a great place to watch the sun set behind the many boats moored further out in the bay.

If you follow the promenade around the bay to the south, you’ll reach Bay of San Antonio resort with several small sandy beaches.
