Description
Camp Bay is a small, charming beach located on the western side of Gibraltar, near the entrance to the famous Gibraltar Harbour. This pebble and rocky beach is known for its calm, clear waters and scenic views of the bay and nearby marina. It offers a more secluded and peaceful alternative to the busier beaches in Gibraltar, making it popular with locals and visitors seeking a quiet spot to relax or swim.
The shoreline at Camp Bay is mainly pebbly with some rocky areas, so water shoes are recommended for comfort when entering the water. The calm Mediterranean waters here are ideal for swimming and snorkelling, providing good visibility and a chance to explore marine life close to the shore. While the beach doesn’t have extensive water sports facilities, the surrounding area is great for kayaking and paddleboarding.
Accessibility to Camp Bay is straightforward by car or local bus from Gibraltar’s centre, with parking nearby. Facilities are limited compared to larger beaches, but there are cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The beach is family-friendly and open throughout the year, with no significant restrictions, though visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment and local regulations to maintain its peaceful atmosphere.
