Playa de Nares
8 Melvin Wright

That place is an amazing place to visit with great staff. The scenery is stunning, with its black sand and pebbles. Highly recommended!

Playa de San Gines
10 Alex Turner

The beach is fantastic with its sandy shores and there are some great beach restaurants nearby. Even during busy hours, it never gets too crowded. Snorkeling is quite enjoyable and there are some interesting sights to see underwater. The water remains shallow for a long distance, making it safe for all. Additionally, the beach is well-maintained and clean.

Playa del Alamillo
6 Miles Alexander Smith

The sand here is far from ideal; it's not especially clean and it doesn't appear to be well-maintained.

Playa El Portus
8 Jensfrid

That place is a great place for some peace and quiet. The water is crystal clear, and the shore is lined with small, round pebbles instead of sand.
