Antequera - all beaches

Valdearenas Beach stretches for a kilometer and a half, providing ample space for various activities. One of its highlights is the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the safe and calm fresh water, as there are no waves. Additionally, the beach is a great destination for water sports enthusiasts, offering options like sailing, kayaking, pedal boats, and even rafting. For those interested in exploring the area further, there is also the chance to take a boat trip from the nearby Lake Iznájar Nautical Station. Furthermore, Valdearenas Beach, located within the Valdearenas Natural Park, is dog-friendly, ensuring that our furry friends can have a wonderful time as well.

We visited the Isla recreational area, which offers rental services for hammocks, kayaks, paddle surfing, pedal boats, and even an inflatable play area. The rental price is €10 for either 1 or 2 hours, depending on what you choose to rent. Additionally, there is a shaded area with tables, although they are situated on a higher level than the water, making it slightly uncomfortable due to the noticeable slope. The water's bottom consists mostly of sandstone with some mud, so it is not necessary but recommended to wear water shoes. Overall, it was a lovely experience costing €1.20 for adults and €0.60 for children under 10 years old. However, the parking lot at the recreational area costs €1.50, but it is quite small and fills up rapidly. As a result, we had to park on the road.

Unfortunately, there is a scarcity of water this year at the beach, but it remains incredibly stunning 😍

There are several spots on the beach where you can rent sunbeds with umbrellas for €14 a day. The ocean is stunning, but very chilly, and the rocky incline can make it hard to get out of the sea when the tide recedes. It's a great place to spend the day, particularly in the off-season when it's much less crowded.

Amazing and the sunset is stunning.

This location spot is a paradise! It's got a great atmosphere and is really relaxed. There are plenty of eateries all around, making it a great place to hang out. The scenery is stunning, and it's the perfect spot to spend a day in the sun.
