User reviews
"The beach is quite pleasant, but the parking is quite a challenge. At the end of the street leading to the beach there's a parking lot, and it's run by a man driving a Mercedes, giving off an air of illegitimacy. Some people have ignored him and not paid, but it's still a bit of a worry. It's a bit disconcerting, to be honest."
Pablo Antonio
"A breeze to access. Ample street parking. Sun loungers and eateries along the coast which have delicious food. Perfect for families. Take care when entering the sea as there are stones on the seabed. Not too busy - highly recommended!"
