This beach is absolutely amazing. It offers a scuba diving club, camping facilities, various restaurants, a marina club, hiking trails, and much more. It is definitely a place that should be on your list of places to visit.

Piscina Natural La Cantera

10 Jasper Scott

Wow! I cannot speak highly enough about this place. The reservoir is absolutely massive, offering a few fantastic deep areas perfect for diving. The sandy beach is blessed with abundant sunshine throughout the day (so I highly suggest bringing a beach umbrella). Without a doubt, I will be returning to this place in the near future.

There are few offers for accommodation in the beach area, so finding a suitable place to stay can be a problem. You can use the map search to get more information about this.
