That place is a great spot for a peaceful stroll or to just relax. It is nine kilometers long and has crystal clear waters. The wind can be a bit strong in some areas, but there are also areas where it is almost nonexistent. Definitely worth a visit.

This beach near Piedras Caidas is a large, unspoilt paradise. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the golden fine sand. Though the wind can be strong at times, there are plenty of sheltered areas to keep you out of the breeze. It may not be as stunning as the nearby Sotavento Lagoons, but it's definitely a tranquil and beautiful place to spend a day.

The beach may be quiet now, but it's not always that way. The water is warm and there's no rocks, so it's perfect for a mixture of textiles and naturists. It's also got plenty of space. The winds at the northern end are weaker than places like Sotavento, which is why we moved here one morning - the sand was just too much at Sotavento. It was a nice change. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can take a long walk to the north, and you'll be walking for miles.

A wonderful experience on the 28th of January! The day was perfect for a stroll along the beach. The sky was a brilliant blue and the sea was a calming shade of blue. It was simply delightful to be able to relax and take in the beauty of the beach. I could not help but fall in love with it!

A great spot to relax and unwind. However, it can get a bit crowded at times. Additionally, the GPS location is not always accurate - it may take you to the car park, but you'll need to take a five-minute stroll to get to the beach.
