Sandy Bay Beach

6 Miles Finley

Sandy Bay Beach is far from ideal for a laid-back day in the sun. The sand is alright, but if you're looking for some seclusion, the rocky areas are not much of a refuge. The temperature of the water is quite chilly, given its proximity to the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea, and while it was bearable when we visited in August, it could be much worse. There are a few places to get food and drinks, as well as water boards, but overall it's not the most pleasant beach to spend time at.

Camp Bay Beach, Gibraltar

6 Iryna Kozyr

My visit to Gibraltar's beach was far from enjoyable. The infrastructure was alright, but the atmosphere and sea views were nothing to write home about. I took a right turn after exiting the Camp Bay tunnel and came across a rock with small stairs leading to the sea. It was like a private beach, and if you happened to have a yoga matt with you, it would be the perfect spot. All in all, it was a forgettable experience.

Little Bay Beach

8 Tobias Krieger

Gibraltar is a great holiday destination. The beaches are decent, but the trips to town are absolutely amazing. Climbing the Med Steps is a must-do experience.

Playa de las Arenas

6 Bjorna Haldorsen

The service at this beach was less than satisfactory. The food was of a lower quality than expected. However, the view of the sea was breathtaking. It's worth taking a look, but I would not suggest spending your time or money here.

Playa de Sobrevela

10 Nguyễn Khang

The beach was incredibly peaceful with crystal clear water that was simply excellent.

Playa del Saladillo

6 Stephanie Grant

That place is the perfect spot to relax and take in the gorgeous views. Sadly, coastal erosion has caused some damage this spring, and the sandy beach needs some help to be restored. Nevertheless, it remains a stunning spot to visit all year round.

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 32.4°C and the water temperature up to 22.8°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 14.6°C and the water temperature down to 16.1°C.
