This beach near La Herradura is a great spot for a stroll around the lakes. It's a tranquil and serene atmosphere here.

This location has a 4:1 male to female ratio and is a popular spot for nudists. It has a strong current and is mainly composed of pebbles. During summer, a makeshift bar is set up here.

This spot isn't for the faint of heart. It requires a strenuous climb up 70 steps to discover a hidden path on the left. It's not an easy feat, so be sure to take all necessary precautions if you're planning to visit.

The perfect spot for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet. It's never too crowded, even at the furthest bay from the access point, and there's a mix of people, so you won't be judged for taking it all off. Plus, there's a bit of sand and a lot of stones, so you can get your feet wet and your toes sandy. Just don't forget to bring plenty of water - there's no facilities here.

That place is a great spot for those who like to go skinny dipping! Unfortunately, there are no toilet facilities, but during the peak season, there may be some people wearing swimsuits, who are aware that it is a naturist beach.
