User reviews
"What a picturesque beach! We had a truly wonderful experience. We visited in the evening and noticed plenty of people peacefully savoring time with their families and friends. It was incredible! We also laid out a picnic and had a great time. The sand was spectacular and the beach was really tidy!"
Malia Kade
"This location may not be the ideal spot for swimming or sunbathing, but it's great for a leisurely stroll or a jog. There's also a windsurfing school, playgrounds for children, and gym tools for adults nearby, so it's usually quite busy. However, it's much less crowded than Barceloneta which is further down."
