Perfectly situated, the beach and commercial centre of Matagorda, with its wide range of restaurants and bars, is less than a ten minute stroll away, while the bustling resort of Puerto del Carmen is just a mile or so away and is easily accessible by bus (the stop is next to the complex), taxi, or on foot along the scenic pedestrianised coastal path.
This means that visitors who opt for staying in the quieter environs of Matagorda, a former fishing village, can easily access the more boisterous entertainment and nightlife of Puerto del Carmen.
Matagorda has a gently sloping beach of fine sand, particularly popular for windsurfing. It boasts a central commercial centre with a wide choice of restaurants and shops.
A wide variety of watersports can be enjoyed along the beach, especially windsurfing for which the area is a famed spot.
