El Zapillo Beach

Beach
31 km from Alhama

The locals' beach par excellence: nearly three kilometres of sand with a promenade, beach bars and life all year round.

El Zapillo is the capital's beach heart: a continuous front of dark sand along a promenade alive all year, with terraces, bikes and strollers. Full services: showers, lifeguards, rentals, play areas.

The atmosphere is the big draw: the neighbourhood keeps its old soul and the sardine skewers at its beach bars are a must. The gulf's most complete urban option.

Highlights
