This beach near Las Maretas is an absolute delight! The water is crystal clear, and the sand is a beautiful brown color. There are showers and benches to relax on, and rocks for climbing and playing. It's a great spot to observe the local fishermen, and it's a totally unexpected and enjoyable experience!

This public beach in Las Materas is great and only 250 meters away from Bar Marcos, a fantastic local restaurant with prices that won't break the bank. Plus, there are showers available for your convenience.

8 Very good

Playa del Rio is a great spot to visit; it's peaceful and has all the amenities you could need, like showers, benches and more. The sand is perfect for sunbathing, and even when there are stones, it's still easy to access the sea. The views are stunning and the weather is usually pleasant, but if there's a bit of wind, you can find shelter on the ledge to the left. Plus, there's plenty of parking and a play area for the kids. What's more, it's easy to get to, making it the perfect beach for a day trip.
