Playa de Matagorda Beach in Puerto del Carmen

At the northern end of the main tourist resort of Puerto del Carmen, in the municipality of Tías, south of the Guacimeta beach, at the airport, lies the Matagorda beach, which is about 600 meters long and is awarded with the blue flag for special beaches.

In the vicinity of larger hotels and mainly tourist-oriented apartments, you can also rent beach chairs and umbrellas. There are also toilets, showers and lifeguards.

In the main tourist period, the available parking spaces can sometimes be a bit scarce.

This beach is very good for swimming and surfing, with mostly only very few waves, also suitable for beginners. The beach is guarded, has paper baskets and is cleaned daily.

There is also a large selection of restaurants, bars and cafes at Playa de Matagorda beach.

The “Avenida de las Playas”, which stretches over 7 km to the other end of Puerto del Carmen, starts here.

Directly at the southern end of the Matagorda beach begins the even more extensive sand beach Playa de Los Pocillos.
