i need help to where to go for our family holiday next year sometime in school summer holidays have a husband and 12 year old who love to fish off rocks (safely i might add!!) requirements need to be hotel all inclusive near a beach and somewhere to walk in the evening - have been to cala n bosch, marmaris ,olu deniz, egypt, florida and majorca but am willing try anywhere
thanks in advance
fishing is not the easiest or best in the med but i have caught from beaches around Cyprus Greece and Spain, if sea fishing is their thing then the Portugal coast [further west the better] or the silver coast have reasonable reputations another to consider is northern Spain around the bay of Biscay
We went this summer and had some great fishing off the rocks and the purpose built jetty,
Nice little resort too, It would be worth a look.
Have to agree with Es Cana on Ibiza. The Miami is good but the Cala Nova is better and you just step over the low wall at the back of the pool and you are on the rocks. Far enough away from the beaches not to have swimmers or pedaloes interfering with the fishing lines.
There's an inherrant problem with fishing from the beach near to hotel / tourist beaches; they are often disturbed beaches with little habitat to make good fishing, and swimmers / watersports from the beach can be in conflict. This limits what species there are to catch. Having said that, you can have lots of fun catching small species such as Wrasse and Bream around rocky areas. Many of the Greek Islands offer limited fishing from the beach, as well the the Canaries and Balaerics. You'll not catch your next meal, but all these places will provide good fishing. Just use light lines and small hooks and you'll get plenty of bites. I wouldn't consider Egypt as the water is too shallow in most cases and you have to walk out several hundred meters in most cases to find water above your knees. Some of the Caribbean Islands offer excellent inshore fishing, for example St Lucia and Cuba, it depends how far you want to travel.
If it's just a bit of light sport, Icmeler in Turkey is quite good off many of the jetties / harbour walls, and the breakwaters in Costa Tequise, Lanzarote is quite good too. These don't have AI hotels on the doorstep though.
