One day may see unbelievably still sea conditions with the next seeing large rollers crashing into the beach making swimming and bathing dangerous for children. However, one thing is always assured, sunbathing is a treat. There are life guard stations all along the beach and sea temperatures are wonderfully warm in summer, reaching well over 20°C in August. If you swim in the sea during the British summer, you will be able to handle the sea temperatures in Vera Playa at any time of year with ease. Of the 4km of beach, the northern 2km is designated naturist beach.
