The beaches here are spotless and well-maintained. The sand is soft and inviting, while the sea is invigorating and energizing! Sunbeds are available for around €6, and the Hotel Yaramar offers exclusive amenities to its guests. Other activities, such as jet skiing and boat trips, can be found at the marina. There are also bins and toilets, as well as showers to wash off after a dip in the ocean. There are boardwalks that lead to the beach, and plenty of cafes, bars and eateries located across the street.

The beach wasn't great - it had no pebbles or rocks, just sand and water. The toilets and showers were the only saving grace.

A real paradise! It's a great spot to take a break and relax - the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The beaches are spectacular, with plenty of room to enjoy the sun and sand. Plus, the view is breathtaking - you won't find a more peaceful spot.

That place is a perfect spot for a getaway! The staff are so welcoming and friendly, always paying attention to detail and taking great care of the sunbeds and tables. The price is unbeatable, with two sunbeds, an umbrella and a table for only 10 euros. The shoreline is smooth and the sand is incredibly soft and fine-grained. The water is so crystal clear and you can even spot some curious fishponds. We collected a lot of beautiful shells, some of them quite large! I highly recommend this beach as a great place to escape and relax.
