User reviews
"This beach is an absolute paradise! The sand is so soft and inviting, and the morning cleaning and flattening give it a stunning look. The food and beverage bar is an added bonus, so you can relax and enjoy the sun all day with your own beach blanket and chair. It's the perfect spot to spend a day!"
Terrence B.
"The sand at this beach is the best in the whole of Orihuela. Unlike La Glea beach, it's free of stones and pebbles when you enter the sea. Unfortunately, it shares the same downsides as all of the other beaches in the area, such as no showers or changing cabins. All in all, it's definitely worth a visit - a solid 3.7 out of 4!"
