What to do in Ancha Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Ancha Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

In addition to water activities, sometimes you wish to play on the ground, for example, volleyball (football). On this beach there is a volleyball (football) area and if you want you can play volleyball with other holidaymakers or with your friends.

In most cases, the question What to do on Ancha Beach implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

The beach is absolutely stunning with its sand, and it's perfect for those who prefer a quieter and more secluded atmosphere, as it is exclusive to the resort guests.

Caution: This particular shoreline is off-limits to the general public! It appears to be closed without proper authorization. It's difficult to say whether or not the beach is worth visiting, unless you're staying at one of the luxurious seaside resorts. Without access, it's impossible to determine the true beauty of this hidden gem.

The beach is an absolute delight on days when the sun is shining bright, the temperature is just perfect, and a gentle breeze sways over the water. The seaweed is hardly noticeable, the waves are calm, and there's not a soul in sight to disrupt your peace. It's the perfect spot to unwind and bask in the natural beauty that surrounds you.
