Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cotobro (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 Cotobro (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 Cotobro 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.

So disappointed-water is full of waste and shit. Almuñecar does not have proper sewage

The sunbeams in Cotobro make it an ideal beach for a prolonged summer, even in October. It's a bit of a hidden gem, as it's not as popular as other beaches, maybe because of the small stones that cover it. Nevertheless, it's easy to access, so if you're looking for a beautiful spot to soak up the sun, Cotobro is the place to be!

Cotobro is simply lovely! The sand is soft and the pebbles are a beautiful shade of gray. It's a great spot for a relaxing day in the sun.

The beach on the Costa Tropical is a great spot for some relaxation. Its crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming and the locals are friendly. In the spring and autumn months it is usually very peaceful, but it can get quite crowded in the summer. The best part about it is the tranquility and cleanliness of its waters and the gray fine pebbles on the beach. You won't get full of sand here!

This spot is definitely something special, particularly because of its promenade that leads to the next beach. I'm absolutely in love with it! It has a Chinese vibe, but unfortunately, the parking spots are limited.
