I absolutely adore this beach! It's especially stunning at sunset.

This beach is an absolute paradise! With plenty of room to spread out on the sand or beneath the shady trees, it's no wonder this spot is so popular. It's the perfect place to soak up some sun and enjoy the sound of the waves.

Cabañas was an unfortunate experience for us. We stayed for 4 nights in a hotel right by the beach, and there were plenty of restaurants and stores nearby. However, the beach and water were not taken care of at all. It was filled with toilet paper, bottles, and the smell of dead fish was unbearable. We were not alone in not wanting to go into the water. We won't be returning to Cabañas due to the fact that it did not live up to expectations.

This beach offers easy car park access, plus nearby toilets that are kept reasonably clean. It's a tranquil atmosphere with lots of elderly couples and families with children, rather than groups of young people blasting music. The only downside is the abundance of pine needles on the sand - but they're easily avoided with a pair of sandals or crocs. The water temperature is neither hot nor cold, making it enjoyable to swim in. All in all, a great beach experience.

Perfect for families, however, it lacks essential amenities such as functioning showers.
