Seven practical ideas for families with children, from sandy beaches to woodland paths. Adapt every plan to the child's age, the weather and conditions on site.
BeginLess list. More feeling.
A long sandy beach with a shallow entry and plenty of room to play. Depth and conditions change, so supervise children continuously near the water.
Woodland paths without steep climbs, under the thick shade of holm oaks. Pack a picnic, find a wooden bench, and let the kids explore at their own pace.
Woodland paths beside the old town offer families a quieter break from the waterfront. Check the playground's condition when you arrive and stay with children while they play.
A short cruise on a boat with glass windows in the hull. Children are fascinated by watching the fish and seagrass pass beneath them. Leaves from the main pier.
A small tourist train that chugs from cove to cove. If you have a five-year-old, this will be more exciting than any boat trip.
Another sandy bay with incredibly shallow water. The perfect spot for a late afternoon visit, once the sun softens but the sand is still warm.
An afternoon break for ice cream and a slice of traditional Rab cake. The kids love the sweet almond flavor, giving you ten minutes of earned peace.
