The beach has a nice, dark sandy area, but be cautious of rocks both on the beach and in the water. It's important to wear proper sandals. The beach area is vast but limited, with only a few sandy patches.

We stopped by this beach for a night during our road trip to Spain, and it was truly amazing. The staff here was incredibly friendly and assisted us with all our needs. They even went the extra mile to provide a cozy bed for our dog. The restaurant offered a limited but scrumptious selection of vegan dishes, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Without a doubt, I highly recommend this place!
