10 Exceptional

Excellent beach, well worth visiting, it will make for beautiful photos! Access by car is very steep, and there is a small, very quiet level trail. There is no restaurant on site.

10 Exceptional

Access: Short but very steep trail that requires physical preparation. Dirt road in some sections. Not recommended for low cars. Beach: Beautiful with not too cold water, with shade on some parts of the beach. Super clean and calm water, ideal for children, slightly coarser sand that makes it less dirty when you leave.

8 Very good

We went with the children and we didn't know that access would be so exhausting. It's difficult to even leave the car parked. The ideal is to go slowly and in a relaxed mood. Bring food and drinks, as the beach is deserted.

10 Exceptional

What an incredible beach, the only problem is that it's difficult to access, but it's totally worth it.
