A tranquil and serene spot. The ocean is tranquil when you take the plunge, but there can be breezy days.

8 Very good

The beach , referred to as Playa de las Carpinteras on the map but in reality Playa de Triana, is nothing special. It's made up of stone and sand at low tide, and unfortunately its peace and tranquility is disrupted by the many cars passing by on the road. However, it is easy to access, making it a decent option if you're looking for a beach nearby.

That place is a nice, quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds. The street is not overly busy, and the entrance to the water is slightly steeper than other beaches. made up of gray sand and pebbles, and parking is not an issue.
