Eastern Beach
Gibraltar's longest beach, right beside the eastern end of the airport runway and the Spanish border, where you can watch planes take off and land.
Located in the north-east corner of the peninsula, Eastern Beach is about 1 km long, with a wide expanse of sand. It is the favourite summer swimming spot for local families, with lifeguards, showers and a beach bar. Its eastern end lies next to the airport runway and the Spanish border, and you can watch planes take off and land close to the Rock's northern face, which provides a spectacular backdrop. It is about 10 minutes by bus from the city centre and is much busier than Catalan Bay.
