Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa de Calaiza (Granada) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa de Calaiza (Granada) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Playa de Calaiza for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

The beach may be peaceful and serene, but it's also incredibly dull. There's nothing to do but sit and stare at the same view. Don't expect any thrills here - it's the perfect place to just zone out.

An absolute delight! The sand is so soft and inviting, and the waves are so soothing. It's the perfect spot to relax and take in the beauty of nature. The scenery is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is tranquil. It's an ideal place to spend a day or two soaking up the sun and enjoying the serenity.

This secluded beach in La Herradura is an ideal spot for those looking for a tranquil escape. The shoreline is beautiful and offers stunning views, but unfortunately there isn't a lot of shade.

This beach near Cerro Gordo is the perfect spot to unwind. Its secluded cove offers crystal clear waters and a tranquil atmosphere, though kayak tours can sometimes be a bit disruptive during the day.

The beach is probably not the best place to spend your day. It's probably better to look for another spot to relax and enjoy the day.
