LGBT Crowd
Terramar Street Beach is not as popular as the famous gay beach at Sebastian Street but it’s more tranquil. Moreover, it is located closer to all the gay guesthouses and resorts such as the Royal Palms, Alcazar, Villa Venice, Elysium, etc., so it also has a nice LGBT population. Singles as well as couples who don’t feel like walking down to Sebastian Street or who seek more tranquility come here to relax and have some fun in the sun.
Sand and Water
The beach is well-kept and clean. The sand is brown and a bit gritty. The water is crystal clear, blue-and-emerald, and warm. During daytime hours, you can feel quite safe in the water because there are lifeguards on duty. Anyway, please pay attention to the beach flags indicating current swimming conditions, which can vary from safe to risky and dangerous.
Other Activities
