Where and what?
S'Arenal beach is a lively and fun 500-metre stretch of sand and is the main beach of San Antonio, running parallel to the beautiful tree-lined promenade in the centre. You get fine white, soft sand and a view of the surrounding bay that will make you weep tears of joy.
Why go?
You can easily spend the whole day here, enjoying the both laid back and lively atmosphere amidst a crowd of fun-loving, up-for-it twenty-somethings. With so many bars and restaurants around here, you won't have to stray far for a wide choice of food and drink too. Splashing around in the clear and shallow waters here with your mates is one of the best, most fun ways to enjoy a San An day in summer.
Things to do
Watersports of all types can be found here. From banana boats to pedaloes to kayaks and jet skis - this beach has the lot. You can check out boat trips and boat parties at the stands that line the promenade on your way back or on your way to one of the cool nearby restaurants like Bondi.
If you are in need of liquid refreshment, you are spoiled for choice though Itaca or the Ibiza Rocks bar are some of the biggest and best. You could even head to one of the famous cafés on the nearby Sunset Strip after a long day relaxing hard on the beach.
How to get there
You simply need to walk around the promenade from San Antonio itself or from San Antonio Bay in the other direction. Parking is available all over town.
