阳光海岸上的海滩

The beach was far from ideal - a dirty, rocky shoreline in a heavily commercialized area. It's not somewhere I'd ever want to visit again.

We've been going as a big group every Sunday for a few years now, and it's an absolutely fantastic spot to relax with family and friends. The restaurant and bar are both amazing.

Playa el Chorrillo had three small sections tucked away between rocky cliffs. It was really nice and not too many people were there. Unfortunately, the area behind the beach was full of trash, and there were about 5-10 addicts and homeless people living there during the summer. One of them looked like a witch doctor, and the footpaths were filled with garbage and needles. As we passed by, we saw people snorting drugs off of credit cards.

That place is a true paradise, with its natural beauty, facilities, parking, and beach restaurant. You can also rent umbrellas and sunbeds, making it the perfect spot to relax. Snorkeling is great here, though it can get a bit crowded with divers and spearfishers. But don't worry - there's plenty of space on the sand, even if the waters are a bit busy.

This spot was really nice and clean, with pebbles and crystal clear water. Even though the car park was full, there were plenty of other places to park just off the road at the top. There was a minibus that could take you down and back for a small fee, or you could walk which took us 18 minutes at a slow pace. Coming back took us exactly 30 minutes, and we were carrying a small tent and beach stuff. We ate at the far side restaurant which was good. Best of all, the beach has public free entry, so you don't have to worry about paying for entry. Unfortunately, there are no public facilities such as showers or toilets, but all in all, it was a nice quiet day.

That place is far from peaceful; it's always bustling with activity. There's never a moment of quiet, and it's always full of people. If you're looking for a tranquil spot to relax, this isn't it.
