- Beaches Gibraltar, UK
Gibraltar is almost completely surrounded by water. Its beaches are different in characteristics depending on which side of the Rock you are in.
Camp Bay and Little Bay
Facing the Atlantic, both these bays have been fully developed as beach resorts and now include a series of interconnecting terraces providing easy access to the sea.
At Camp Bay, (El Quarry), a small swimming pool has been set aside for the younger children, together with changing room facilities and a summer café.
Catalan Bay
A former fishing village and home of Genoese settlers on the Rock, this bay also sheltered Spaniards fleeing from the Napoleonic invasion of Spain.
Today, it is a thriving beach resort!
In the bars and restaurants behind the beach area, you can find a unique combination of British beers and dishes, alongside Spanish 'tapas' and 'raciones' to entice the most difficult of palates.
