Beach description
The beach is a quarter of hour's drive from San Antonio and 10 minutes from Sao Jose, in a sheltered bay near the small resort town of Cala Tarida. It's the longest and biggest on this side of the island. On the right side, the bottom of the sea is shallow, on the left side it's deeper, and there're more people there.
For those looking for a secluded place, the northern tip has small hidden coves and interesting rocky islands near the shore.
When is the best time to go?
The beach season on the coast of Spain falls on the period from May to October. The water and air temperature reaches the most comfortable levels, thereby guaranteeing tourists a perfect vacation.
