This little cove is a real gem! The sand is made up of volcanic elements, making it quite unique. It's also conveniently located near the fishing village of Islola del Mor, so you don't have to travel far for a great day out. perfect for a leisurely stroll and is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the bigger beach towns. Highly recommended!

Cove in Isleta del Moro is a picturesque spot, with tranquil and crystal-clear waters. It's the ideal spot for a pre- or post-meal stroll through the charming town, with its delightful nooks and crannies. Don't wait - visit soon! The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded.

Nothing to write home about; the sand is dark and the water is clear, but there are small stones scattered throughout the shore. Parking is free, but there's no camping allowed due to the close proximity of the beach. La Isleta del Moro is likely more appealing, based on the positive reviews it has received.

This place is a true paradise, with its stones and Chinese, and its crystal-clear waters. Today was especially crowded, being the end of August. It's definitely worth visiting and enjoying, as the waters are perfect for swimming in. What's more, the beach is easily accessible, making it the perfect spot for a day of fun in the sun.

This location , known as Playa de La Isleta and Playa del Peñón Blanco, is located away from the main urban center. It is a stunningly beautiful beach with pristine environmental conditions, making it a paradise for nature lovers and especially interesting for geology enthusiasts due to its volcanic formations. What's more, it boasts unique gray sand, adding to its allure.
