Beaches in Gibraltar
Including Gorham's Beach. On the map.
The vibe
The coastline here feels like a compact, urban escape where the shadow of the massive rock looms over the sand. Summer is the only time the water feels truly inviting for a full day of lounging, as the breeze can turn brisk quickly. It is a very local affair, where you share the small strips of sand with residents enjoying their lunch break or a quick evening dip.

A secluded and dramatic stretch of shoreline situated beneath the towering limestone cliffs of the southeastern coast. It offers a wilder, more rugged beach experience away from the busier urban beaches.
