The seven kilometres of beautiful Blue flag, sandy beaches,  perfect for sun-worshippers and sports enthusiasts alike. The beaches have a number of cafes and children's playgrounds, which are all immaculately kept.
The Spanish have been using the original village area for many years for the Annual holiday, which takes up most of August, hence most of the apartments in this area are only used for the holiday season. To the north of the town are the modern urbanisations, where many northern Europeans, mainly British, live the year round.
