The beach is absolutely stunning and is a great choice if you prefer a less crowded atmosphere. As soon as you arrive and catch sight of the crystal blue waters, you can't help but anticipate diving in. However, it's important to keep in mind that it is a marshy area, which means you may encounter some vegetation and bugs along the shoreline. Additionally, when you step into the water, you'll notice branches and dark mud beneath your feet. Despite these minor inconveniences, it's still a delightful spot to relax and enjoy yourself. There is a beach bar where you can grab a beer for only €1.50 and some snacks. To reach the beach, you'll need to take a dirt-stone road from the town, so if you have a low car, it's best to drive cautiously at a speed of 30-40 mph. It's a perfect place to spend the day.

It's a lovely spot for a family outing, with a designated picnic area and well-maintained paths. The beach is pristine, boasting crystal-clear waters. However, it's important to be vigilant with our pets to ensure a clean environment for everyone, as there were some instances of dog waste. Let's all work together to create a clean and enjoyable space for our children.

It's a peaceful spot where you can enjoy a day out with your family. During the summer, there's a bar available where you can grab refreshing drinks and even rent boats to explore the nearby swamp area for swimming. The best part is, you can bring your pets along! This place is truly exceptional and definitely worth a visit when you're in Valverde del Júcar.
