Playa Sur
Platja Sud
A small bay beach between the old town peninsula and the fishing port. The water is calm and it is backed by the city walls, making it quieter than the North Beach.
Playa Sur is a small crescent beach on the southwest side of the peninsula, between the fishing harbour and a sandbar. Sheltered by the peninsula and the harbour breakwater, its water is usually calm, which makes it suitable for swimming and for children to paddle. Behind the beach rise the old town walls and the castle, a different view from the North Beach. From here you can photograph the harbour, the walls and Irta Mountain all together. In summer there are lifeguards, showers and sun-lounger rental, and cafés and restaurants are within walking distance. The beach is small and gets crowded even in midsummer, so it is best to arrive early in the morning.
