What to do in Playa del Sombrerico? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Playa del Sombrerico welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

That place was quite the letdown. The snorkeling was alright, but the restaurant was closed when we arrived, which was a real bummer. To top it off, the 2 km of dirt road leading there was a pain to navigate with a small car.

A visit to this beach is definitely worth the journey. The snorkeling is incredible, with a plethora of fish surrounding the rocks. It's a sight to behold!

That place is worth the journey, offering a tranquil atmosphere and a perfect spot to unwind. It's also known as Treasure Island beach, as it was the filming location for the movie Treasure Island.

This location is a real gem! The chiringuito at the end of the road is simply amazing - it's definitely worth a detour. A perfect spot to spend a day in the sun!

This place is truly remarkable. During the month of August, it can become quite crowded, but the access road has recently been improved with a massive grading machine. It's incredible that so many people still manage to make it here. The restaurant and bar right on the beach are now open year-round, making this a great spot to visit. It's like an oasis after a long, hot journey.
