Why visit?<\/h3>\n\n

Playa Jardin, also known as Playa del Castillo<\/strong>, offers a singular atmosphere where nature and urbanism<\/strong> blend harmoniously. A veritable oasis between the city and the ocean<\/strong>, we particularly appreciated its garden, between sea and mountain, where palm trees<\/strong>, cacti and tropical flowers line the promenade. A complete change of scenery<\/strong>. Moderate waves, shallow waters and the possibility of renting sun loungers and parasols<\/strong> make this beach ideal for families<\/strong>. Please note, however: while its play areas and setting make it an ideal beach for families, swimming is prohibited<\/strong> there until further notice<\/strong> for health reasons. So people go there for a wonderful walk, to sunbathe, or to play in the sand\u2014but not to go swimming in the ocean.See more photos in our dedicated article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
