The beach is made up of stones and is perfect for surfing. It's a peaceful spot in a seaside town, but you need to be cautious not to venture too far into the water during high tide.

The beach has a mix of stones and black sand, making it ideal for surfing due to the abundance of waves. However, it may not be the best option for families with young children as it tends to be quite crowded. On the bright side, getting to the beach is a breeze.

To be honest, we stumbled upon the beach by accident. We had originally planned to go to a different coastal spot, but ended up there due to Google Maps. However, we ended up having a fantastic day soaking up the sun and enjoying the peace and quiet with my furry friend. It's important to note that the beach has strong waves and currents, so take caution. Despite that, the locals are friendly and helpful if you need directions. It's a great spot to appreciate nature's beauty.

The beach is stunning and popular among surfers due to its great water conditions. However, caution must be taken as the waves are generally too big for swimming and the water can be rough. Many of the houses in the area are built into caves, which is a unique feature. A friend of mine lives in one of these houses and enjoys the convenience of being steps away from the sea on the promenade. The beach is located in Candelaria, situated between Candelaria beach and Socorro beach, which is a short walk away and home to the Virgin of Candlemas.
