One of the world's best - and it's even more spectacular with its brown sand!

This place has some great waves and warm water, plus it's kept clean. It can get a bit crowded, but at one end, near the red mountain, there's a nudist colony.

This beach is small and quaint, with soft, gray sand and a gentle slope. It can get a bit windy when the south winds blow, but it's a great place to be in the early mornings when the sun rises over the imposing Montanja Roja.
