El Ancla Restaurante & Beach Club
Must try
Sardine espetos, pescaíto frito, boquerones in lemon, puntillitas, fish baked in salt, oven-baked or chargrilled (gilthead bream, grouper, monkfish, sole), rice dishes all year round and Strait bluefin tuna (tartare, about €25).
About
Restaurant and beach club at the west end of San Pedro's promenade, with a large seawater pool (especially in summer). Quieter than the Marbella ones, good for couples and families (Directo al Paladar).
Good to know
No opening hours or website published: call to book and to confirm. It is a place for a long meal: if you order large fish or seafood the bill goes up quite a bit, so ask the price per kilo first. There are packages combining pool, sun lounger and meal in summer.
Getting there and parking
Valet parking service (MySunbed).
