Beaches and Resorts

The primary appeal of this town is its laid-back coastal character. Unlike some of the high-energy, neon-lit centres found elsewhere on the island, San Agustín maintains a more refined atmosphere.

You can expect warm, sunny days for the vast majority of the year, making it a reliable destination whether you are looking to escape the British winter or soak up the peak summer heat.

For those who enjoy a bit of movement, the coastal paths are ideal for walking or light jogging. Watersports are also popular, with the calm mornings often providing the perfect conditions for swimming.
