Roquetas de Mar: endless beaches and the authentic charm of Almería’s coastline

With its incredibly flat coastline and enviable year-round climate, this former fishing village has evolved into a complete holiday destination without losing its authentic seaside soul.

What you can’t miss:

• Huge beaches with space for everyone: Forget about waking up early to claim your spot on the sand. Beaches like Aguadulce or Playa Serena are kilometres long, wonderfully wide and covered in soft sand that’s comfortable underfoot. There’s more than enough room to relax at your own pace.

• Santa Ana Castle and the Harbour: The cultural heart of Roquetas de Mar. This beautifully restored 17th-century fortress can be visited free of charge. Right next to it, you’ll find the fishing harbour, the perfect place to watch the boats come and go while soaking up the local atmosphere.

• Punta Entinas-Sabinar Natural Park: A stunning natural paradise that begins where the hotels end. Expect endless virgin dunes, pine-lined trails and peaceful wetlands where spotting wild flamingos is surprisingly easy. A beautiful contrast to the beach atmosphere.

• The paradise of free tapas: Just like throughout Almería, every drink comes with a complimentary tapa and, you usually get to choose it yourself from the menu. Head to the harbour area or the town centre and enjoy fried fish, traditional migas or slow-cooked meat dishes for little more than the price of a couple of beers.

Our recommendation: If you’re travelling with children, or simply love animals, the Roquetas Aquarium is a fantastic visit. It’s the largest aquarium in Andalusia, where you can see everything from sharks to interactive touch pools with starfish.
