The sand at this beach was great, and there was a bar with drinks and snacks. Plus, it wasn't overly crowded.

It is great if you're looking for a peaceful getaway. The sand is soft and the water is perfect for swimming. The only downside is that there isn't much to do nearby except for the restaurant. All in all, it's a great spot for those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of a crowded beach.

We had a great time visiting this beach. It's well worth the walk from Amadores, and the area is simply stunning. The beach itself is lovely, with gray fine pebbles and a great, authentic bar nearby. We heard it hosts live music at night, but didn't have the chance to experience it.

Playa de Tauro is great, without all the beach chairs, and it's much less crowded than the beaches nearby.
