What to do in Santa Clara 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 Santa Clara 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.

The beach is a lovely and well-maintained destination with a fee for entry and the option to rent sunshades. Visitors can enjoy a restaurant overlooking the sea, a mini-hotel, and a variety of water activities.

During our stay at a resort hotel nearby, we had the pleasure of visiting Santa Clara beach. Despite its small size, the beach boasts a peaceful atmosphere with its white sand and basic facilities like showers, washrooms, and huts with hatched roofs. There is no loud music to disrupt the tranquil sound of the waves crashing on the shore. Additionally, we found a fantastic seafood restaurant in the vicinity. The only inconvenience is that you have to drive to reach the beach.

The beach was gorgeous and well-maintained. Despite the strong riptide, the water remained crystal clear, which is a rare occurrence that supposedly only happens once a year. We visited on a Monday and were pleasantly surprised to find it deserted. Additionally, there was no fee for admission or parking, although we did leave a tip for the caretaker on our way out.
