This spot is small but incredibly tranquil! I highly recommend it - it's a real gem!

Playa Chica Beach
8 Cyrusa N

A great spot for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful getaway. With a convenient parking lot nearby, it can get crowded, but the serene atmosphere is worth it. There are plenty of friendly cats roaming around, so don't forget to give them a few pets. Plus, free public restrooms are available too. It's the perfect place to spend a relaxing afternoon.

Reducto Beach
8 Bradley MacKenzie

The beach has nice golden sand, but unfortunately, there are rock shelves in the water that detract from its overall appeal.

Playa Blanca
8 Alexis Graham

The beach was spotless and the sand was delightful. For two sun beds, it was just €10.5. The water was quite chilly in late March, but it was brilliantly clear.

Playa Pocillos
8 Kody Ryder
