Be careful or you might gonna stay longer as planned! Breathtaking natural beach but be careful when using the road! Especially the last part of it must have significantly worsened during the last years. For small cars it’s impossible to reach the end without damage and you possibly won’t get back without help. We met a lonely guy who was stuck with a VW Golf trying to make it back up the slope. Together we managed to get the car out but we were very lucky (the car also suffered severe damage). If you want to visit this beach and don’t drive a Mars-Vehicle or at least a Land Rover - don’t go to the end and walk the last meters. June, 2024

The last part of the gravel road is tricky, if you don’t have an SUV, don’t go there. You can also enter the beach from the south of amado beach by foot!

Incredibly clean beach! Naturist too. Bumpy road to get there, but totally worth it! We parked the car about 100m up on the cliff and walked the rest! Spent the whole day on the beach. As it is extremely secluded, it's recommended to carry lots of water. Stay hydrated folks!

Such a beautiful beach, parked up in the motorhome for the night here. No light pollution so the stars were incredible. No litter and some amazing waves. Love this place so much I think we will be back very soon.
