"The beach was a windy paradise for surfers, with plenty of room to move. Dogs were welcome, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any amenities - no beach bars, stores, or kiosks."

"Es el mejor lugar para nadar, incluso para practicar bodysurf. La zona es limpia y natural, lo cual es genial. La playa no tiene arena, sino piedras, lo que es perfecto para nosotros. Puede haber viento porque la zona es abierta, sin montañas alrededor. Hay baños públicos, duchas, kiosko, socorristas, y una zona donde se puede hacer una barbacoa. No olvides llevar tu propio ..."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Playa Carchuna (Granada) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa Carchuna (Granada) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa Carchuna for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
