Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa de la Guardia (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 la Guardia (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 la Guardia 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 place is the perfect spot to unwind and cool off. The showers are closed, but it's still the ideal place to take a dip and beat the heat.

I had the pleasure of visiting this pebble beach on a Saturday in mid October. The temperature was a pleasant 27 degrees and the water was so clear you could easily see the hundreds of fish swimming around the rocks that separate this beach from the main Salobrena beach. The beach was exceptionally clean and had toilet and shower facilities, as well as wheel chair access to shaded decking. Gray fine pebbles were scattered across the beach, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The promenade was quiet, yet still open for business with most restaurants open and doing good trade. The view from atop the cliff of Salobrena was simply breathtaking.

The crystal clear sea of Spain is absolutely breathtaking! It's the perfect place to take a dip and relax. The water is so clean, it's like swimming in a dream!

The restaurant here was alright, nothing too special. The monkfish was decent, but 16 euros is a bit steep for what you get. Service was alright, nothing to write home about.
