Sandy Bay is situated on the eastern side of Gibraltar, about a 10 minute walk down from Catalan Bay village. Sandy Bay is a hidden gem in Gibraltar, appreciated for its natural beauty and tranquility. It's a lovely spot to relax, take in the stunning coastal scenery, and enjoy the Mediterranean waters in a peaceful setting.

The beach has fine golden sand and clear and shallow waters, making it an ideal spot for sunbathing, swimming, and wading. The sheltered cove helps create a calm and gentle sea environment.

With a section closed off especially for children, and a very well priced chiringuito restaurant close by, Sandy bay is the perfect beach to visit for families. There's also paddleboarding for hire, changing rooms and sun loungers for hire should you need it.

As this location is quite further to get to, it's maybe worth using the taxi service (+350 200 70027) to travel to and from the beach if visiting Gibraltar.

Eastern Beach is family-friendly and suitable for all ages. The gentle slope into the sea and lifeguard services during the summer months add to its safety for families with children. Eastern beach is also the closest main beach to the town centre, towards thend of Devils Tower Road.
