The sandy and rocky beaches have been awarded the EEC Blue Flag for cleanliness. Alongside the popular Ampollo family beach is the 12th century Castillo - built to defend the town from pirates. El Portet, just north of the town, is in one of the prettiest bays along the entire coast and has a very gently shelving beach, ideal for young children.
