Playa de Melicena is great - except for the fact that it's swarming with flies. It's almost like they've taken over the place!

This location has beautiful, soft sand and clear waters. Unfortunately, some individuals have been fishing in prohibited areas and times with swimmers nearby, with no lifeguard on duty. This makes for an unpleasant and potentially dangerous experience. It's best to avoid this area and find a beach with better supervision.

Far from perfect. It's a decent place to relax, but it's lacking in certain amenities. There's no store to do your shopping and no bar to grab a beer. If you're looking for a secluded beach without people around, this is probably your best bet - but it still has its shortcomings.

This place is the perfect spot for rest and relaxation, as it is extremely clean and quiet. The only downside is that it lacks a bar or restaurant. Visitors must bring food with them. There is a single beach bar, but the owner is incredibly unpleasant and hostile. To make matters worse, the man's pet dog is allowed to roam freely and sniffs around the clean beer glasses and mugs. It's outrageous! Even if you manage to drink your beer before the dog gets to it, you'll still be charged €2 for an uncovered beer. This happened to me, so I would not recommend the beach bar.
