Playa El Barranco is not crowded and has a rocky shoreline, though it can be a bit windy. What's more, it is easily accessible, making it a great option for a day out.

This spot is a stunning sight, with its rocky canyons that are filled with salty water. The waves 🌊 are barely there, making it a great spot for a deep and rocky swim. Taking a stroll from Los Abrigos to Amarillo mountain, you won't want to miss the opportunity to take a leap off the cliff!
