Platja del Cabanyal, el tram del mig

Mostly sitting and talking on a half-empty stretch, with folding chairs carried from the streets behind, and kickabouts on the packed wet sand at the waterline when the tide is out.

Sitting and talking middle stretch of Platja del Cabanyal, where the barrio streets end at the sand

The middle of Cabanyal is the quiet gap in the whole strip: people bunch around the chiringuitos to the south and north and this bit stays half-empty even in August. The people on it mostly walked five minutes from the streets behind, with a folding chair rather than a full beach kit.

Informal sport the hard wet sand at the waterline off Cabanyal, at low tide

Kickabouts happen on the packed wet sand at the edge, not up on the dry stuff — jumpers for goalposts, and the game moves as the water moves. Out of season it's the most reliable thing on that stretch.
