Head to the beach during high tide and you'll find small ponds with warm water. The winds are often strong, making it similar to Cofete, but on a smaller scale.

This location is alright, but it's not the best. It's not too busy, but it can get a bit crowded. The wind can be a bit too strong for lounging around, but it's great for water sports.

This place is perfect for water sports such as windsurfing and offers plenty of sunshine for those wanting to relax in the sun. There is a large cliff overlooking the beach and a rather bumpy, rocky road leading down from El Cotillo. The car park is full of rocks, so be sure to get full insurance on your hire car to avoid any mishaps. Don't forget to bring parasols if you plan to stay in the sun for a while as it can get quite hot!
