"That place is a must-see if you're in Murcia, as the views are breathtaking. Although the sand is dotted with small rocks that can be uncomfortable to walk on, and there is some glass and bottle caps, it's still a tranquil and beautiful spot. It's best to wear beach shoes to protect your feet."

"The perfect place to take a break and unwind. Its picturesque scenery is breathtaking and you can also explore the ruins of Cartagena's harbor fortifications. It's within walking distance of the port and there's a nice path to take. Plus, there's parking available. Highly recommended!"
