Nice and clean beach, with fine sand. Some stones slightly in the water, but if you pulled a little more towards the center they were awake.
Great nice parking space right next door. Toilet and restaurant options.
The sun loungers get busy so please bring your own umbrella and sun chair.
Seemed less crowded a Cabo Roig and la Zenia beaches.

Beach is lovely, lots of activities for kids! Only down side was the limited options for food. Would have been nicer to have options for bed and umbrellas as the ones supplied look like they r gone very early which means bring ur own or u will be on ur towel in the sand. Will be going back better prepared as kids loved it.

We spent a couple of days sunbathing on this beach and there is everything you could need. Toilet facilities, a chiringuito and also a restaurant on the beach front. Ideal for children too.

This is a nice beach with a couple of restaurants and activities.
I put a pretty low rating due to the rocky sand in the water. When We were there it was some waves and you could not see the rocks in the water.

The beach here is a blue flag one with disabled access and a chair for disabled visitors to go into the water - see the lifeguards. Lifeguards of course - please follow their instructions you can be fined if you don't plus its just common sense.
The beach is a long one, lovely soft sand. The usual chiringuito (beach bar) with snacks, drinks, meals, ice creams. You get the key for the toilets from them.
Parking is now either in the side streets or on the waste ground in front of the bridge with the arches below. Not enough of it. Until fairly recently you could park down the road on one side but yellow lines have now appeared so this is a no no now. I would imagine anyone who has difficulty walking will find this a real problem as the parking surface on the field is very rough - buggies and wheelchairs will be very difficult to push. Why could there not be wheelchair/family parking along the road?
You are able to rent sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach, 15€ for the package but if you are planning a few days on the beach its worth buying your own at one of the many Chinese shops along the coast. Go early, especially at weekends!

We always find ourselves returning to this lovely area to enjoy the beach and its surrounding restaurants, water sports and marina. It's safe for all ages and the water sports tick the box. The restaurant cater well nicely to everyone's needs and we will be returning again this year.

This is a lovely beach on the Campoamaor coast. In winter / spring it is a lovely deserted location and a great place to stroll - has a nice cafe restaurant at the end of the beach. In summer it gets hugely busy and sometimes is spoilt by inefficient waste bin emptying - although that's often down to people badly discarding rubbish. It could also do with better toilet and showering facilities - it does have foot showers. But its generally a clear and safe beach and great for families and we visit it regularly. With some more public investment it could be brilliant.

In general, most people do complain about the lack of parking space when going to the beach, that there are too many people, the restaurants on the beaches are too expensive, lack of space to place your towels and umbrella, etc... If you fall into that group of people, you need to come to Playa de la Glea. I may be the luckiest guy who ever walked on this side of the earth but I always find a parking space in front of the beach, (even in august), I always install my towels and my umbrella wherever I feel like, even if I do not arrive early in the morning, I can have lunch at the bar on the beach for less than 10€ (drinks included), waiters are always friendly with me, etc... So join me this summer and come down to the Playa de la Glea; you may also become one of the lucky ones who will stop complaining and start to enjoy life.

This is a lovely beach with the usual summer beach bar and facilities - all of which have been upgraded this year. The beach and newly laid promenade were all damaged during the bad rain at Easter - work resumed immediately after the rains to restore the beauty of this beach. Their are sun beds available for hire in the vicinity of the beach bar and 2 lovely restaurants by the marina. Worth a visit.

Hi do you do jet skiing here - my daughter is 175 years and would like to do it - driven once before. THanks
Written July 19, 2018
Sounds a bit old for jet skiing and you cant be a spring chicken yourself. No, there’s no jet skiing at this beach. But there is at the next bay at Oscars at the Cabo Roig end. Despite what you may be told you DO need a level2 powerboat licence under Spanish law!
