Los Lobos - all beaches

Massive, and when you arrive, you'll be greeted with a welcome party of stones. But don't let that put you off - it's all good.

This place is great for families with kids, with its shallow waters and lovely atmosphere. However, the sand can be too hot on your feet and the water can be a bit too placid for some.

The pictures of canines on the sand at this naturist beach may be misleading. Despite the visuals, this isn't a pup-friendly spot. The signs clearly state that no pets are allowed at any time of the year. I've taken my dogs for a walk here before and was scolded by the authorities. The only option is to take them for a stroll on the pathway at the rear of the beach, and only with a leash. Friends of mine have also been reprimanded by lifeguards for walking their pooches along the beach during peak season, and some German friends were even fined. If you want to take your furry friend for a walk, it's best to go to Palomares/Villaricos instead.

When I visited, the beach was open but quite windy. There were many recreational vehicles, but it wasn't too busy.

This secluded little bay was a great spot to visit. The sand was a beautiful brown color, and although the restaurant was closed when we visited, it was still a really lovely place to be.

This place is a sight to behold. Although the access is a bit tricky when wearing flip flops, it's worth the effort. Even when the waves are small, they can be quite powerful near the rocky shore, making it hazardous to swim. If the conditions are tranquil, it's definitely worth a detour.
