8 Very good

This secluded beach is the perfect spot for a family outing. Its cozy size is ideal for kids, and the lack of amenities makes it a great spot to get away from it all. Spend the day splashing in the waves and building sandcastles with your little ones.

Cristina Pazos

8 Very good

This spot is quite petite, but it is neat and tidy. Unfortunately, it appears that some of the people who park their cars here are not very considerate, as they tend to leave no room to pass between their vehicles. It is a shame that some individuals are not more educated in this regard.

This location boasts a lovely, fine-grained sand, and the sea is tranquil. There's also a convenient place to park nearby.

The perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's tucked away in a quiet corner, accessible only by a winding path through a serene forest. The atmosphere is so tranquil and peaceful, it's like the world outside doesn't exist.
