The beach has unfortunately suffered due to the abandoned refinery nearby, resulting in a strong chemical smell and dark water. However, it still boasts beautiful golden sand and was once a top competitor to Playa del Sol. Despite its current state, it remains a memorable spot with many stories and anecdotes to share.

I am absolutely smitten with this beach, although it's a pity that it's no longer accessible to the general public. I visit quite often, as I have a dear friend residing in the area. The beach is a true gem, and it's currently the closest one to me.
