The beach was bustling and bustling, but it was still spotless. You could even catch a glimpse of fish swimming in the ocean. Just don't venture too close to the beach bathrooms, as the odour is less than delightful.

8 Very good

A real gem - one of the best in the Torrevieja area. The water is usually crystal clear, but if the sea is choppy, it's not much different than Campoamor with seaweed everywhere. Snorkelers will love it - the fish are so close to shore you can almost touch them. But if you're not into aquatic life, you might want to stay away. The only downside is the lack of shade - it was fine for us, but if you need some shade, bring your own umbrella or something.

An absolute delight! There's a great beach bar and a small play area for the kids. It's especially popular in the evenings when the locals come down with tables and lanterns to keep the beach vibes going all night long. It's an amazing experience!

That place is an ideal spot for snorkeling and spending quality time with the family. Despite being relatively short, it's a great place to sit and soak up the sun. The parking situation isn't ideal, but the short walk to the beach is worth it. Climb the small rocks for a breathtaking view of the sea and its wildlife! Enjoy your day here.

This spot isn't the most pleasant place to visit. The water is not as clear as one might expect and there are a lot of people here, as is the case with most beaches. There are a few fish, but not nearly enough to make it worth the trip.
