Beaches in Morro Jable

Playa del Mattoral is the main beach of Morro Jable and is not overly crowded due to its length and size. Alternatively, a smaller beach Playa de a Cebada can be located east of the town, often favoured by the locals.

Playa del Matorral (beach)

Playa del Mattoral stretches for around 4km from the old part of town to the new part of town. The lighthouse in the centre of the beach unofficially separated the nudist and non-nudist sections. This blue flag beach is clean, spacious and equipped with basic beach facilities like shower facilities, beach chair hire, information booths, life guards, disability access, and designated areas for windsurfing and water sports. There are plenty of water sports on offer and the Avenida Tomás Grau Gurrea promenade boasts a wide selections cafes, restaurants, bars and shops.

There is also a Espacio Natural Protegido (Protected Natural Area) covering the area before the lighthouse (if facing the sea), stretching approximately between Hotel Robinson Club Jandía Playa on the west and Iberostar Palace on the east. This 115.6 hectares of protected area was declared in 1994 by law for the purpose of preserving the coastal ecology system.
