View of the Rock of Gibraltar from the northern end of Eastern Beach, on the eastern Mediterranean coast of Gibraltar.

Eastern Beach is the largest beach in Gibraltar, stretching for several hundred metres along the east side of the isthmus joining The Rock to Spain. The sandy beach extends from the north of Catalan Bay to the runway of Gibraltar Airport.

The surrounding urban area is both residential and industrial. Unlike most of Gibraltar's other beaches, which are at times deprived of sunshine by the shadow of The Rock, Eastern Beach enjoys sunshine all day through until sunset.
