This place is great for a motorhome or camper, or even if you just want to drive in with some sandwiches and enjoy the day. made up of rocks and sand, and you can take a dip in the water, but it's not really suitable for swimming. I've always found there to be waves and wind, so I wouldn't recommend swimming there. Despite that, it's still a really tranquil spot, and I love it for what it is.

This location is a quiet place with rocky sides, making it difficult to access for swimming. However, it is still easily accessible, making it a great spot for a peaceful day out.

This beach is almost like your own private paradise. It has a beautiful, secluded shoreline, with soft gray pebbles that make for a perfect day of sunbathing and swimming.

This spot is a hidden gem, with varied terrain and crystal clear water. There's an incredible amount of biodiversity, with fish, anemones, crabs of all shapes and sizes, mussels, octopods (if you dive along the rocky coast), and sea cucumbers of all colors. Plus, there's plenty of space and hardly any people - you can even find some homemade stone walls to lounge on, like at Playa Blanco.
