User reviews
"What a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this beach! Our hotel barman in Almeria had highly recommended it, and we were not disappointed. This long, wide stretch of shoreline is a wild, untouched paradise with few houses and buildings in sight. If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy a peaceful day on the sand, this beach is an absolute gem."
Alessandro Bonazzi
"This location is an endless stretch of sand (with some areas more like gravel) and crystal-clear waters. It is equipped with tapas chiringuitos, lifeguards, and showers, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sun. Whether you're looking for a place to sunbathe or swim, this beach has it all!"
