"The beach and town have a lot to offer; the sea looks deep, so it's important to check it out before taking children in. The pebbles are small, but they're more practical than sand. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any public toilets around this part of Spain, apart from at bus and train stations."

You'll be able to spot a variety of aquatic life when you take a dip. The sand and water are also kept clean, and there are plenty of eateries nearby.
