A couple of simple ideas if you’re staying nearby and want easy wins.
A wide, golden beach that stretches for miles. It is easy to spend hours here swimming, walking along the shore, or just switching off with the sound of the waves.
The dunes feel almost desert-like and completely different from the rest of the island. Walking through them, especially near sunset, feels quiet and unreal.
A relaxed walking route along the promenade leads you to the lighthouse. It is a good spot for photos and an easy place to stop for a drink nearby.
Lively both day and night, the Yumbo Centre is full of bars, restaurants, and shops. It has a fun, energetic atmosphere, especially in the evenings.
Flat and scenic, the promenade is ideal for walking at sunset. The mix of sea views and cafés makes it feel relaxed and social.
A calmer beach just along the coast. It feels less busy than Playa del Inglés and works well if you want a more laid-back afternoon.
A short walk or drive away, this area feels more residential and quiet. It is a nice contrast to the busier resort areas.
Coastal restaurants nearby offer simple seafood, tapas, and drinks with sea views. Eating as the sun goes down is one of the highlights of the area.
