Playa del Verodal

6 Pete

This secluded beach is the perfect spot for a BBQ and a day at the shore. With the tranquil sound of the waves rolling in, you can relax with your towel right by the sea. Just be mindful of the rocks that may come down the cliff. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this isolated paradise.

This beach is really lovely.

Natural Pool La Maceta

6 Irina Zaytseva

This location is a paradise! The views are stunning, the swimming pools are delightful and the facilities like toilets and showers are great. There's even free water to refill vans. Plus, the wind is always kept at bay, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy the scenery.

8 Miguela Belen

I'm not a fan of this beach; it feels too manufactured. You could be forgiven for thinking it was a paid attraction, but it's not. There are pathways that lead to the sea, which may be difficult for the elderly, but are perfect for young adults.

Charco los Sargos

Like a slice of paradise! It's the perfect spot for a refreshing dip in an unbelievably gorgeous natural swimming pool.
