The tiny resort of Puerto de San Miguel, formerly the fishing port of the charming village San Miguel, just 5 km to the south, has a very broad stretch of soft sandy beach by the calm blue sea. Though there are two large hotel complexes on the cliffs which overlook the beach and smaller ones lining the beach, there is enough space for everyone and even in August you don't have the feeling that it is overcrowded. 

Protected by high cliffs on both sides the water is normally calm. The natural sand beach slopes gently into the crystal clear water that is ideal for swimming, snorkeling and water sports. The beach is safe for children and they have lots of space to run around.

Though small, the resort itself does have some souvenir shops and a small supermarket for basic necessities.

The pine-covered hills are delightful for walking if you don't mind the climb - to the left side of the bay you can follow a path to a small neighbouring bay and further up to the watch tower Torre des Molar - an easy to medium level walk of about 30 to 40 minutes each way.

Spotlight tip: The beach of Puerto de San Miguel is a good place to relax after your visit to the dripstone caves of Can Marça, where you will be transported back in time to retrace the ancient footsteps of infamous smugglers of bygone days.


Beach bars and restaurants

Several bars and restaurants line the beach and the access road, including some very good fish restaurants, which are also popular with the locals.
