This beach is quite small, and its shore is overrun with rumiacos. The sand is littered with pieces of glass bottles. You'll often find young people from the area playing ball. It's easy to get to and is located close to the town.

6 Pleasant

The water quality isn't great due to its proximity to a port, but the beach is conveniently close if you live nearby. There's also a park at the highest point of the beach. It's still a nice spot to relax on the sand for a while. Thanks for reading!

The beach in MUROS is a tranquil spot with crystal-clear, warm waters, making it ideal for families with children. The sand is pristine and white, and there is a ramp that shields against waves and inclement weather. Plus, you can easily walk from the town to the beach and find showers, as well as places to eat and drink.
