What to do at the Seafront Promenade of Miami Playa
This promenade is perfect if you enjoy walking alongside the sea, cycling, roller-skating or going for a run. It features well-marked lanes, the terrain is completely flat and, best of all, the sea will be at your side throughout the entire route.
The sunrises and sunsets here are a genuine marvel. The sunlight reflects on the water and transforms the landscape into a picture-perfect postcard.
Along the route, you’ll also find well-placed viewpoints from which you can admire some of the most beloved coves in the area, such as Cala del Solitari and Cala de las Sirenas, perfect for a quick swim.
And if you’re into yoga or Pilates, open-air sessions are organised on the sand, a perfect plan to disconnect and reconnect with the sea. And if you’re someone who can never resist a street market, in summer, craft stalls appear with clothing, accessories and souvenirs. So, along with your photos, you can take home a memento of Miami Playa.
Fancy something aquatic to make the most of the beach? You can hire a kayak, a paddle board or, if you’re feeling adventurous, a jet ski to explore all the nooks and crannies of the coast. If you prefer something that involves less physical effort, there are also boat trips and excursions with stops for snorkelling.
And if you’re coming on a family holiday, you should know that there are also children’s parks and recreational areas along the Seafront Promenade of Miami Playa. Oh! And during the summer, you’ll also come across loads of activities such as open-air cinema, beach shows and live concerts.

Here, there’s a great variety of restaurants and chiringuitos (beach bars) where you can try rice dishes, fresh seafood and typical Mediterranean tapas.

Plats & Co is ideal if what you fancy is a good hamburger, croquettes or a hot dog with sea views. And if you love Italian food, you have to try something from Buba’s, a place where the pizzas, pasta and tiramisu take you directly to Italy.
If you prefer a good seafood stew, Sol y Mar is the place where you’ll find the best calderetas (traditional stews), mixed plates and tapas. Whatever your choice, eating at the Seafront Promenade of Miami Playa is always a pleasure.
