User reviews
"Spending a holiday here is amazing; some days have more wind, making for some nice waves. The restaurant DBlanco and two chirinquitos, Azul and Alcadeisa beach bar, are great. You can rent sun beds at a very good price compared to other places in Spain. I love that the beach never gets overcrowded - I hate it when it's full of people like an ant nest!"
Sebastian Van Den Heuvel
"That place is a great spot for a day out, with a very nice chiringuito and easy access to nearby restaurants and coffee shops. The water is crystal clear and the sand is beautiful - a perfect day out!"
