This beach offers a variety of activities such as small boat launching, sunbathing, fishing, and jet skiing. The water here is serene and sheltered by a cove. They provide swimming platforms for those who want to swim. It's a great place for families, with plenty of on-site restaurants and accessible bathrooms.

We stumbled upon a charming coastal town with a peaceful black sand/gravel beach and a small pier. It didn't feel overly touristy and had regular shops. Many people were enjoying a swim in the ocean and sunbathing. The sea waves appeared gentle, and the slight breeze was a welcome relief from the heat. There was a fairly long promenade with statues, some even in the water, as well as an outdoor gym, a children's play area, restrooms, outdoor showers, and designated sunbathing spots. Along the way, there were numerous cafes and bars where one could sit back, relax, and even benches available for picnics. We absolutely loved it here and will definitely return to explore further and savor a meal.

Arinaga is a quaint coastal town with a charming main street that offers a bakery, supermarket, restaurant, and bar. There is ample free street parking available. The town is designed with a one-way system. Along the seafront, you'll find a delightful area filled with bars, restaurants, and an ice-cream shop. Additionally, there is a lengthy promenade that runs parallel to the beach, providing various swimming spots, plenty of seating, and sun platforms. If you're seeking a peaceful day away from the tourist crowds, this is the perfect destination.
