The East side of Gibraltar brings a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of Town.  With three sandy beaches to choose from, Sandy Bay, Eastern Beach and Catalan Bay, it’s a dream for the beach lover.  Catalan Bay started life as a fishing village and, despite some modernisation, still has this authentic feel with a small selection of bars and restaurants including La Mamela, one of the finest fish restaurants in Gibraltar.  The iconic Caleta Hotel situated at the far end of Catalan Bay, boasts magnificent views over the beach and out onto the Mediterranean Sea.  A treat for any visitor wanting to relax and unwind.  Sandy Bay has been recently restored to its former glory boasting a stunning golden sandy beach.  Eastern Beach is a long stretch of sandy beach closest to the runway enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.  The East Side also hosts warehouses and semi-industrial units away from the beaches.  This side of Gibraltar benefits from day time sun and cooler nights.
