That place is the perfect spot for families with kids. It is equipped with public restrooms, wheelchair access, lifeguards, and is monitored for safety. The ocean is tranquil, with no waves and clear, warm water. The nearby town is peaceful and offers a restaurant, bar, two cafés, a market, an outdoor cinema, and a pharmacy. It is also conveniently close to La Manga, where a variety of services can be found.
