User reviews
"On December 29th, we had the pleasure of visiting this beach, which is conveniently located just 10 minutes away from San Sebastián by car. We were the only ones there and it was absolutely stunning! What's more, it is easily accessible, making it an ideal spot for a quick getaway."
Dr. Martin Schulze
"Great place to visit. It's peaceful and tranquil, with people in caravans enjoying their stay without feeling any stress. Although bathing can be risky when the tide is strong, the beach is still clean and the views of Tenerife are spectacular. It's a great spot to spend a relaxing day!"
