Playa La Carrera , located right beside the Sunwing center in Arguineguin, isn't the nicest one around. It has a fair amount of sea, waves, and big rocks.

This beach near La Charca is quite petite, yet charming. The black sand is particularly striking.

The beach has bright sand and gray fine pebbles, and part of the coast is on rocks where you can free dive and see different kinds of small fish. I must warn you, though, not to touch the yellow buoys designating the area for swimming as the plants or algs on them can cause burning. I made the mistake of trying to float on one of them and ended up with painful red marks that took three hours to go away.

This beach is a bit rough, and if you're looking for something more comfortable, there are plenty of other options just a few kilometers away along the route towards Anfi. Plus, it's very easy to access, making it a great choice for a day trip.
