User reviews
"Playa de Punta Umbria is anything but relaxing. The sand is hot and uncomfortable, and the water is far too cold to enjoy. There's nothing special about the scenery, and it's far too crowded to really enjoy the peace and quiet. All in all, it's a far cry from the beautiful beach it's advertised as."
Giselle Gwynn.
"An absolutely stunning sight at sunset! The sky is painted with vibrant colors that make the atmosphere magical. You can feel the warmth of the sun's rays on your skin and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore is so peaceful. It's a truly wonderful experience that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime."
