Today’s episode was recorded live from Sandy Bay for the latest instalment of ‘Gibraltar Today: At the Beach’.

 

The Overseas Santorini has left Gibraltar waters without refuelling. It follows controversy on whether the tanker should be refused entry as it carried military fuel for Israeli fighter jets. The Overseas Santorini had arranged with local companies to receive a few palettes of supplies, including food. We spoke to our news editor Christine Vasquez.

SUPAbility is a new chartity doing great work with young people. They offer stand up paddle facilities to those with physical disability, or those with mental struggles with anxiety or similar conditions.   Ben Hassan from the charity told us more.

 

Beachgoers Christine Sene and Dawn Francis told us what they love about Sandy Bay, but also what can be improved, particularly regarding parking and ball games disrupting bathers.

 

And, with Sandy Bay being such a popular spot for stand-up paddle it’s also a great base to explore some of the nearby caves. Former Transport Minister Paul Balban is part of the community of regular SUP boarders, who go out often in the mornings and has had some great encounters with marine life.
