I had a great time at this beach - it was really familiar and welcoming. Parking was easy and there was a beach bar nearby, which made it all the more comfortable. Plus, the sand was a beautiful shade of gray and there were plenty of pebbles around. Highly recommended!

Head to the beach for a tranquil escape with the family. The waters are crystal clear and the atmosphere is peaceful. There is a promenade nearby and beach bars where you can have a bite to eat. It's the perfect spot to get away from the noise and busyness of the city.

We were pleasantly surprised! The beach had calm, clean water, with a part of gray sand and pebbles on the shore for the kids to play. It was also great to see that the beach was adapted for people with reduced mobility. We'll definitely be back! Plus, we got to take home a small jar filled with shells from the beach as a souvenir - how cool is that?

If they had told me I would fall in love with this serene slice of Almería, I wouldn't have believed it. It's a fantastic spot, with easy access to beautiful beaches and the Chambao restaurant on the promenade was a great find. We'll definitely be back!
