Camping Playa Arenillas is a beach-focused campground in Islares, Spain, where day-to-day plans revolve around the shoreline and easy outdoor time. Set on Bº Arenillas 43, it’s the kind of stay that suits people who want fresh air and a relaxed pace rather than a strictly urban itinerary.

The on-site restaurant and bar help you keep meals simple, and heating adds comfort for cooler evenings when the coast breeze picks up.
