Playa de la Arena has a small, natural beach of black sand and is one of the cleanest on the island - it has even won the European Blue Flag for cleanliness. If you hire a car there is ample free parking on the top of the beach with a short footpath down to the sand. There are also plenty of bars, restaurants and tavernas adjacent to the beach, so you need not venture far if you get thirsty or hungry.

It is exciting to do things a little differently when on holiday, so why not take a shopping trip with a difference? The Wednesday farmer's market at Playa San Juan sells a wealth of local produce, while the Monday market at Alcala is the place to go for African crafts.

For a relatively small resort, Playa de la Arena boasts an extensive array of bars and restaurants, ranging from the big and bold to a handful of small and intimate venues.
