With the busy resort of Puerto Del Carmen just over a mile away from Matagorda and it`s sister resort, Los Pocillos, you really do get the feeling of having the best of both worlds here. You can spend the day relaxing and soaking up the sun on the fine, dark sand, gently sloping beach and then in the evening take a pleasant stroll along the promenade to the lively resort of Puerto Del Carmen.
The weather in Matagorda can range from 18°-23° in the winter months and 23°-30° during the summer, meaning it is a good all year round holiday destination, having a good array of watersports on offer, especially windsurfing. There is a supermarket and a few shops, and the restaurants in Matagorda are mostly set around the central square, offering a wide choice of local and international cuisine, as well as some excellent waterfront pubs and bars. For those holiday makers keen to party throughout the night just make the short trip into Puerto Del Carmen for all of the clubs along `The Strip`.
To sum up Matagorda, it is the perfect resort for a relaxing holiday; lazing on a beach all day then watching as the sun disappears in the evening, with a drink over your meal, yet at the same time being very close to the lively resort of Puerto Del Carmen if you wish to party the night away.
