Playa de Bikinis is at the extreme east of the city, on the Península de la Magdalena. It got its name thanks to the foreign students at the Universidad Internacional Menendez Pelayo, who were the first to daringly wear bikinis here in the 1950's. This golden sandy beach is accessed via Magdalena Palace. It is over 650 meters long and runs almost all the way along the south side of the peninsula. There are two islands opposite the shore to the south, the Torre (Tower Island) and the Horadada. The beach has a car park, about 200 meters from the sand, showers and life guards. It is cleaned daily and has bins for visitors to use.
