El Sauzal bästa stränder

This beach was great - the sand was black, the waves were big, and even though there was a red flag, we were still able to go in the water (not too deep). Plus, it was easy to access and there were lifeguards on duty.

Reaching this beach is quite the adventure! Although it can be a bit tricky to get to, Google Maps will direct you to the north end, but there is a bit of a hike to the parking lot. However, if you're up for a challenge, you can take the path that goes down right up from the beach. It's a steep and rocky descent, but totally doable. Once you make it down, you'll be rewarded with a stunning view. The black sand is so beautiful and there's hardly anyone around - it's like your own private paradise. The 30-minute trek is worth it for this incredible beach experience.

Playa de la Arena was really great; it was secluded and didn't have any lifeguard presence (at least when we were there). Additionally, there was a nice sea pool right by the parking lot.

It is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With plenty of sunbeds and pools, it's an ideal spot to soak up the sun and take a dip in the saltwater. Though it can get quite crowded, it's still worth the €5.50 entry fee. You can also rent umbrellas for a small fee, which is great if you don't find a spot in the shade. There are a few restaurants and kiosks offering snacks and drinks, so you don't need to bring your own food. Toilets are also available free of charge. The only downside is that the water runs out at the end of the day, so you can't flush or wash your hands. We've been here a few times and would definitely come back!

This beach near Barrio Antonio Afonso is tucked away in a picturesque cove, surrounded by steep cliffs. The sun only reaches it in the afternoons, so it's not the ideal spot for sunbathing, although the view is breathtaking. The sand is black and soft, though it can be tricky to get off. The waves are usually quite strong, so it's a great spot for surfers.

My family has been visiting this beach for years. It's a special place that helps us forget all our worries. The pools are always sparkling clean, and the kids find plenty of fun activities to enjoy. Plus, the sunsets are breathtakingly gorgeous! Truly spectacular!
