The award-winning La Bajadilla beach
With a length of over 1,500 meters and a width of about 75 meters, La Bajadilla is an urban beach, given its easy access, on foot or by car, the beauty of the beach and the amount of services it offers, it is a beach with a high level of occupation but without saturation.
Awarded with the EU Blue Flag and the Q for quality. Wide and spacious that can receive a large number of visitors. Another of the most notable features is that it is an urban beach of coarse sand and has a grayish tone.
The beach is made up of rather dusty pebbles and is not very fine. But there are few plants and algae in the water. In midsummer the community offers some entertainment and inflates inflatables for children or sets up trampolines.
If the sea is calmer, you can also swim at a smaller beach section of Playa La Bajadilla below the fortress wall. The beach has a bit more charm here, but there are no services such as toilets or showers at this location. However, the Blue Flag blows here as a seal of quality for optimum beach quality - the water and sand are usually very clean.

Sports in La Bajadilla
Winds from the east can make Playa La Bajadilla a bit uncomfortable and high waves build up, which in turn delights bodyboarders. There are also kitesurfing areas about three kilometers to the north, where the coastline is undeveloped.
Coastal promenade
The beach of La Bajadilla is bordered by the promenade with a bike path with covered areas with pergolas for rest, with different bars and restaurants that are located on the seafront, an ideal option to taste some of the local specialties in an idyllic setting.
The most beautiful thing about the beach is its proximity to the beautifully restored castle Castillo Santa Ana, which was built as a coastal fortress in the seventeenth century against pirate attacks directly on the beach on the rocks. Next to the castle stands the beautiful lighthouse of Roquetas. From here begins the five-kilometer long Paseo Maritimo, Roquetas' promenade, which extends southward to the golf course and the vacation home settlements.
