There is easy access to natural beaches and quiet coves while watersports lovers will find plenty to enjoy at the Marina del Mediterraneo Este which is found on the eastern side of town. Aswell as its rising popularity as a tourist destination La Herradura is becoming increasingly popular with northern Europeans seeking a life in the sun.
