This beach is a great spot to visit! Although there are rocks close to the shore, the sand begins only a few meters away. It's definitely worth a trip, so don't miss out!

Daniela Martinez

8 Very good

Quite pleasant, with pebbles at the entrance which make it advisable to wear booties. As you enter, the sand is already dark, and it continues all the way down the beach. The waves aren't particularly dangerous, but when it's windy they can be quite strong. It has many services, such as showers and beach bars, as well as restaurants and ice cream stands. At the end of the promenade, there is a Chinese store that sells food, household items and other things. There is also a special area with access to the beach for people with reduced mobility, complete with a roof.

That place is spacious and not overly crowded, making it easy to park. It has a shower and nearby restaurants. The shoreline is rocky, but the water is clean and you can spot many schools of fish.

Easily accessible for those with mobility issues, and has toilets, showers, and a variety of beachside eateries. Parking can be tricky during the summer months, however.

This beach is the perfect spot to soak up some sun and take a leisurely stroll in the summertime, however, if you're looking to take a dip, you'll be met with an abundance of stones.
