This location is a real paradise - an ideal spot for a perfect day at the shore. It's one of the most stunning beaches in the vicinity, with crystal clear waters and white sand. A great place to relax and soak up the sun.

Playa de Amio
8 Kai Miller

That place is stunning and offers an interesting aspect where two seas meet. The sand is lovely and the way in is easy to access, although it can be quite steep in places. It's great fun and a truly stunning place to visit.

Comillas Beach
8 Johnathan Smith

The beach was alright, but nothing to write home about. We had a few activities to keep us occupied, but nothing that was too exciting. The beach was nice for a morning stroll, but nothing too special. Wish we had stayed somewhere else.
