Practical tips for Arenal Sound 2026
- ✓Use high-factor sunscreen and reapply several times throughout the day: sun exposure on the beach in August is very intense.
- ✓Sand on the beach gets very hot; wear flip-flops or sandals for moving around the venue and campsite during the day.
- ✓The festival has open-air stages facing the sea: enjoy the setting but be aware that the sea breeze can make evenings cool down considerably.
- ✓Bring a change of clothes: the combination of beach, concerts and camping means you will get wet and dirty easily.
- ✓The campsite is usually close to the venue; set up your tent early to secure a good shaded spot.
- ✓Bring a reusable bottle and refill it at the free water stations; staying hydrated on the beach and in the sun is essential.
- ✓Keep valuables in a bum bag or secure pocket; beach crowds are the perfect environment for being distracted.
- ✓Check the set times on the official Arenal Sound app or website to plan which artists to see each day.
