"It doesn't matter where you go in life
as long as you go to the beach"
El Palmar

El Palmar is famous for its laid-back atmosphere and unspoiled landscape. The dunes and foliage are being carefully preserved with elegant solid wooden walkways leading to the golden beach.
El Palmar is a long, straight, windswept beach very popular with surfers and kite surfers and has lively nightlife in the summer. There are several places to hire boards and take lessons such as the Surfshop opposite tower called Kotadulu.
There's a huge variety of bars and restaurants stretched along the coast road.Try La Cerveceria, La Dolce Vita, Restaurant Morito, Casa Francisco el de Siempre (up Market) and Hostal El Rajero Verde.
The 5km stretch of white sand is backed by a strip of grass and consists of two areas separated by a tower, Torre Nueva, which is also where the main access road arrives. The properties along the road are all simple, low-rise buildings so it doesn't have the built-up feel of many other recently developed towns along the coast.
