Beaches
Isla Canela boasts over 5 miles of fine sandy beach beside the clean Atlantic Ocean. It is 40 meters wide on average, a lot wider than most beaches on the other costas of Spain. The gentle slope of the ocean floor and the sand banks just off the coast ensure that the sea is always calm and safe to swim in along the whole beach with just gentle surf and never any big and dangerous waves. The size of the beach and the careful development of the residential resort with only a few select hotels also ensure that there is plenty of space on the sand. Research featured in the Daily Express, to find how busy the beaches of Europe were, devised a rating to give holidaymakers an idea of how much towel space they could expect. Isla Canela came top in the survey with a grand 14.5 rating, meaning that there was enough room for over 14 average towels per person on the sand, compare this to San Antonio on Ibiza where the space available on the sand is just over one towel per person!
For those people wanting a little bit more surf and a few more International amenities, including fantastic home made Italian ice-cream, the Beach at Monte Gordo is superb, just a 15 minute drive away over the border, and only marginally more crowded with loads of space even in peak season. There is also a Casino at Monte Gordo for the gamblers.
