Playa del Arroz is a great spot for overnight stays in motorhomes or campers. Even though there are no amenities, it's an amazing experience to spend a few days on the sand out of season. A real treat! Plus, the atmosphere is really chill.

That place is the perfect spot to chill and unwind. It's gorgeous and offers the opportunity to go hiking and mountain biking. There are tons of RVs parked here, making it a great place for RVers. You won't find any facilities, but the beauty of nature is all around.

A brief stopover, yet the sandy shore was delightful. A pleasant surprise to find such a beautiful beach in such a short time. The sand was soft and inviting, making it a great spot to relax. A wonderful place to spend a few moments of peace and tranquility.

This spot is a sight to behold - pristine and picturesque, with stunning vistas. But don't expect to get much swimming done, as the water is far too inviting for the local wildlife.
