Sandy Bay Beach

6 Gwendalynn

This man-made beach on the peaceful side of Gibraltar is a great spot to spend a day. Although there was a lot of seaweed when we visited, it may not always be the case. Even during the busiest times of the year, people still come to enjoy the beach.

Catalan Bay Beach

8 Kane Williams

The beach was spotless when I visited, and I had the whole place to myself! Even in November, it was warm enough to relax. I only wish I had more time to stay longer, as I could have easily spent the whole day lounging here.

Eastern Beach, Gibraltar

8 Marcelino Panadero

This beach near La Linea de la Concepcion is terrible due to its abundance of building constructions, which are destroying the area. Fortunately, it is still easy to access.

Camp Bay Beach, Gibraltar

6 Iryna Kozyr

My visit to Gibraltar's beach was far from enjoyable. The infrastructure was alright, but the atmosphere and sea views were nothing to write home about. I took a right turn after exiting the Camp Bay tunnel and came across a rock with small stairs leading to the sea. It was like a private beach, and if you happened to have a yoga matt with you, it would be the perfect spot. All in all, it was a forgettable experience.

Playa de Getares

10 Lila Renner

This beach near Algeciras is truly remarkable, boasting golden sands and a charming promenade dotted with delightful cafés and restaurants. Additionally, the views of Gibraltar across the Strait are simply stunning.

Little Bay Beach

8 Iris Di Napoli
