Ramón Peguero

8 Very good

Beautiful place, although with little space in the cove to put towels and other belongings. Very crystal clear water and a lot of tranquility. The only bad thing was that there were jellyfish when we went and they stung several people.

It is very pretty no matter where you look at it. From Canto Gordo, the large rock from the end to the opposite side is a curved cliff. A small beach is below to the delight of swimmers and lovers of marine nature who, as another virtue from the place, it is only one hundred meters from the nearest homes.
