Paradise without sand - a unique experience! This beach is a true oasis, boasting lush greenery, crystal clear waters and a tranquil atmosphere. You can relax and take in the stunning views, while enjoying the peacefulness of nature. The perfect spot for a peaceful getaway!

The best around here because of its stones rather than sand. Consequently, it's usually less crowded than other beaches. The stones also create a steep drop off into the sea, perfect for swimming. Additionally, it's easily accessible and it has a phenomenal chiringuito.

The beach isn't particularly noteworthy. It's nothing special compared to the other beaches in the vicinity. It's just okay.

I absolutely adore Almuñécar - it's such an incredible place with friendly locals and plenty of shops to keep you content and your fridge stocked. During the summer, there are many bars along the beach, however, that number dwindles during the winter months.
