On December 29th, we had the pleasure of visiting this beach, which is conveniently located just 10 minutes away from San Sebastián by car. We were the only ones there and it was absolutely stunning! What's more, it is easily accessible, making it an ideal spot for a quick getaway.

The beach was not great. It was quite lonely, and the pebbles weren't the most comfortable. Unfortunately, you can't have it all, but we still enjoyed it.

This place was beautiful and secluded, making it the perfect destination for a peaceful getaway. It was an easy drive from the capital, and when we visited in May 2022, it felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. The manmade wind shields were a nice touch, and the beach even has a section of untouched, virgin shoreline with no amenities. It was truly a unique and wonderful experience.

Great place to visit. It's peaceful and tranquil, with people in caravans enjoying their stay without feeling any stress. Although bathing can be risky when the tide is strong, the beach is still clean and the views of Tenerife are spectacular. It's a great spot to spend a relaxing day!

That place has a rocky shoreline, with access being somewhat limited due to a narrow dirt road. The waves here are relatively gentle, so it's best to wear some sort of water shoes if you plan on getting in the water.
