User reviews
"A tranquil spot, particularly during the winter and spring months which I'm familiar with. It's lovely for a stroll along the sand, the promenade and the breakwater. At the western end, a stream flows down to the beach and there are some impressive rock formations with a statue of the Virgin Mary adding a touch of something special."
Danielle Alonso
"This time I visited the beach during the night and it was a very pleasant experience. The temperature was perfect and the beach was quiet and not overly crowded. What made it particularly special was the white, fine sand - it was a very nice walk both day and night."
