The beach is like a paradise, almost otherworldly. However, during rainy seasons, it's important to be cautious as the paths can turn into rushing streams and the combination of mud and stones can make entering and leaving quite challenging.

This beach is an amazing spot for learning and improving your kitesurfing skills. When the wind picks up, it remains steady, and the water is exceptionally calm.

The beach is a stunning location for kiteboarding, but it's not ideal for sunbathing or swimming. If you're looking for those activities, I would recommend going to Manchamar instead. When it comes to wind conditions in Alarcon, be prepared for fluctuations, with the wind usually getting stronger in the evening. It's important to note that there are whirlpools along the shore, so exercise caution. While they are uncommon, they can occur.
