Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa el Muerto (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 el Muerto (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 el Muerto 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.

This beach near La Herradura is a great spot for a stroll around the lakes. It's a tranquil and serene atmosphere here.

This location has a 4:1 male to female ratio and is a popular spot for nudists. It has a strong current and is mainly composed of pebbles. During summer, a makeshift bar is set up here.

This spot isn't for the faint of heart. It requires a strenuous climb up 70 steps to discover a hidden path on the left. It's not an easy feat, so be sure to take all necessary precautions if you're planning to visit.

The perfect spot for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet. It's never too crowded, even at the furthest bay from the access point, and there's a mix of people, so you won't be judged for taking it all off. Plus, there's a bit of sand and a lot of stones, so you can get your feet wet and your toes sandy. Just don't forget to bring plenty of water - there's no facilities here.

That place is a great spot for those who like to go skinny dipping! Unfortunately, there are no toilet facilities, but during the peak season, there may be some people wearing swimsuits, who are aware that it is a naturist beach.
