The recently constructed Paseo Maritimo, which already extends for 2 Km to Castillo village, will in time be further extended to reach the port of Duquesa. This offers a great opportunity for an uninhibited flat for a walk for a distance of about 3 to 4 kilometres. In the town are many squares and gardens as well as bars, cafés and restaurants that encourage you to watch the world go by.
The “blue flag” beach stretches for 1650 metres between the Puerto de la Duquesa and the Rio Manilva and includes the entire frontage of the town of Sabinillas. It is also a “working beach” as local fishermen still launch their boats here recovering them to the beach on return via capstan winches. The beach is cleaned daily throughout the summer and several lifeguards and first aiders are available to offer help where and when required. Hence this is a popular beach for tourist and locals alike. The café and restaurants that face the beach are varied and plentiful, offering a range of cuisine that should meet the needs of all.The local fishermen launch small boats from the beach, returning at night, or day, with their catch. You will often see restaurateurs waiting for their return to select the day’s menu. Currently a new sports complex is being constructed that will allow the residents and tourists to participate in sports such as indoor football, swimming, paddle tennis and squash. The associated underground car parking will enhance the ability to locate a space. |
