Postiguet Beach
Playa del Postiguet
An urban beach right next to the old town, facing Santa Bárbara Castle, within walking distance, with full facilities and lively crowds in summer.
Postiguet Beach is about 900 m long, at the foot of the old town and the castle hill. It is a few minutes' walk from the city center, with fine soft sand, showers, changing rooms, lifeguards and beach bars, making it suitable for a quick swim or sunbathing. During the Hogueras de San Juan festival in late June, the large fireworks display “La Palmera” over the castle is best viewed from here. In peak season the beach is very crowded during the day, so keep valuables under watch. For a wider beach, take the tram to San Juan Beach.
