The first thing you notice when you enter the Platja Llarga is just how full of life and at the same time laid back it is! The beach has lounge chairs where you can relax with the view of the magnificent Mediterranean sea, find a quiet spot on one of the benches that line the beach, try getting on a para-plane or go kayaking! The shades of the sea from here form a surreal view- the distant green water and the blue water near the shore are a rare sight. Even thought not one of the most popular beaches around, if you love understated places, you can spend an entire afternoon here listening to the waves!

Come here for a picnic, a sunset stroll or simply to get a tan. Either way, the beach promises a relaxing time.
