The peace and tranquility of being alone at the beach is unparalleled. No one around to disturb the perfect moment, it's a time to bask in the beauty of nature and reflect. Enjoy the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, the smell of the salty sea and the feel of the sand beneath your feet. A moment all to yourself, to savor the wonders of the beach.

The beach at Bolnuevo is a great place to get away from it all. Despite the long walk, it's worth it for the peace and quiet you'll find. When we visited, we were treated to a delightful sight - the shore was covered in seaweed and the jellyfish looked like fried eggs!

A true paradise - one of the best in Spain. The 3km walk to the Bolnuevo coves is worth it - the water is crystal clear. If you visit, please make sure to leave the place clean. There is a garbage container at the entrance for you to dispose of any waste.

This place is far from tranquil. The rocky shoreline makes it a challenge to get into the sea, but if you're looking for a place to kill a day, it's a decent option.
