The kids absolutely adored this beach - there were natural kiddy pools, sheltered from the ocean by large rocks, and the views from the beach were truly spectacular. The only downside is that it can get quite busy and parking can be a bit of a challenge. However, with easy access, it's a great place to visit with the family.

A superb hidden gem, nestled against a majestic mountain backdrop. The waves are huge, so you'll need sure footing to navigate the rocky shoreline - but it's definitely worth it! Plus, it's easily accessible, making it an ideal spot for a day trip.

Our favorite beach is a real gem! With its dramatic backdrop and huge waves, the main beach is perfect for thrill-seekers. There are also plenty of rock pools and formations nearby, making the water calmer and ideal for children or snorkeling. One thing to note is that if the tide is in, there won't be much of a beach, so it's best to check the tide charts if you're coming from the south. The drive from the south along the Masca Road is absolutely stunning, so it's worth the trip at least once. Don't forget to check out the lighthouse too - it's a must-see, just make sure you know the opening times!

This remote corner of the bay has a small black sand beach which is perfect for sunbathing at low tide. At high tide, however, the beach is replaced by rocky outcrops. On the plus side, there is excellent parking available and strong swimmers can take advantage of the good waves near low tide when the beach is visible on the west side of the bay.

This small beach features a mix of fine gray sand and black stones. There are some shallow natural pools, perfect for children to explore. Don't forget to bring the right shoes, as the stones can be quite slippery.
