Vacation on Puerto del Carmen beaches - hidden bays, top resorts and recreation areas

The coastal area of Puerto del Carmen is conditionally divided into several resort areas, each of which has its own attractive features. Both those liking relaxing in a lively atmosphere and travelers preferring a more secluded atmosphere will find a suitable beach for recreation here. Tourists are provided with first-class sandy beaches, most of which are well equipped and suitable for lovers of modern comfort.

The most lively and popular area of the resort is Playa Grande. The first resort hotels began to appear near this stretch of the coast a few years ago. This part of the coast is characterized by a small depth and lack of strong waves, so travelers with children have long preferred to spend their holidays here. Playa Grande has a well-developed infrastructure: besides numerous hotels, there is a decent choice of shops and entertainment facilities near the coast.

The resort's largest beach is Playa de los Pocillos . Having an impressive length of approximately 1,600 meters, it can also boast its width that reaches 200 meters at low tide. Active tourists will surely like this place. It is easy to find a suitable place to play volleyball and other outdoor games on the beach. The only drawback of the popular beach can be considered a constant presence of strong wind and moderate waves, so it's hardly the most comfortable place to relax with young children.

Nearby is the attractive Matagorda Beach (Playa Matagorda) with a length of about 1,000 meters. Some parts of the coast are equipped with chaise lounges and parasols; comfortable shower cabins are available for all vacationers. Despite the fact that the beach enjoys well-deserved popularity among tourists, it is characterized by a relaxed atmosphere - thanks to its impressive size.

One of the most miniature beaches in the resort is Playa Chica - its length is only 140 meters. The pebbly-sandy beach cannot boast of modern equipment, so sun loungers and umbrellas should be taken along. The main attractive feature of this small stretch of the coast is the total absence of waves, so you can safely go on vacation even with small children. The presence of shower cabins may be considered as an additional service of the beach.

Another small beach, the 100-meter-long Playa Fariones , lies next to the hotel of the same name. This destination is very popular among divers.The thing is that there is a large diving center on the beach. It is a place where beginners make their first dives. The conditions created by nature are perfectly suited for comfortable training.
