It wasn't beach weather but the Roman ruins of Baello are right on the beach at Balonia. The musuem and ruins are cheap and shouldn't be missed if you're in the area.

Kite/windsurfing is only allowed at the east end so the beach is a wonderful long golden curve for strolling after an excellent fish lunch at one of the simple resturants. My favourites are in the old town by the ruins.

A fantastic drive over a mountain brings you to a paradise. Bolonia beach is uncomercialized and so if you want lots of bars and restaurants, forget it. There are one or two places to eat but the main attraction is the unspoilt beaches of the Costa de la luz....The best coast in Europe!!

We had a wonderful time swimming at Playa de Bolonia. The water was so clean and clear. It was a bit windy, but that is a selling point for all of the kite surfers I guess.
