8 Very good

This spot offers plenty of space and is kept in great condition. It's easy to access, with a lovely sandy path leading right up to it. It doesn't have a lifeguard, unlike the neighbouring Verdicio beach, but the same carpark can be used for both.

That place is an idyllic location, boasting crystal-clear waters and lush greenery. With facilities like toilets, showers, and two bars, it's an ideal spot for a day out. Swimming may be a bit risky, but it's great for surfing when the waves are good. Parking is a bit of a hassle, as it is paid during the summer (3 euros/tourism) and non-existent in winter due to the local farmers blocking the entrance to their property. All in all, it's a beautiful beach with plenty to offer.

The Sos Free Beach is a great spot if you're feeling adventurous. The waves can be a bit tricky, so you have to be careful. It's worth checking out, though - just park your car at the top of the ramp and make your way down to the sand.

This beach near La Granda is a great spot to kick back and relax. It's a wild beach that is situated right next to a nudist beach, which can be reached on foot when the tide is low. However, it's important to note that there are no lifeguards present during the summertime.
