This beach could have received a higher rating if it were not located in such close proximity to a much cleaner beach, La Barrosa. The sand on this beach is filled with a considerable amount of dusty dirt and plant debris, possibly seaweed.

Being on this beach in mid-September feels like a real treat - there's ample parking and hardly any crowd. The only downside was the water being quite dirty with algae. I'm not sure if it's always like this or if it was due to the currents that day, but overall, it was still a fantastic experience.
