User reviews
"Playa de la Ballena is an absolute wonder! It's miles of white sand, with easy access and free parking starting from September 1. Even at low tide, there's not a single stone in sight. And, despite its grandeur, there's never any overcrowding - even during peak season. Truly, a marvel!"
Pablo Moncayo
"That place is picturesque, yet not suitable for swimming due to its rocky terrain and choppy waves."
