The beach offers plenty of space and is surrounded by the sea and trees. There is convenient parking close by and two beach bars. Although the air can be a bit stuffy and the sea can be choppy, it's still a great spot for swimming.

This beach near Barbate bar is far from ideal - the atmosphere is wild and uncomfortable. I wouldn't want to spend my summer here.

This August, the beach was pleasantly uncrowded, with no facilities, but still very accessible and private. It was great for swimming, though there was some algae present.

This beach is just okay - nothing special, but nothing wrong either. It's a decent spot to spend a day at the shore. This beach is a great place to spend a day by the ocean. It's nothing extraordinary, but it's a nice spot to relax and take in the sea breeze.
