This beach is quite small, but it's perfect to visit during low tide or when the tide is receding. It's quite lovely.

The beach is abundant with rocks and algae, and it seems to be a popular spot for women to lounge in their chairs.

8 Very good

The cove is quite small and lacks a lifeguard service, so it's important to exercise caution as the tide can rise quickly.

The beach is quite small and you should watch out for high tide as it can leave you with no space. It's conveniently located near Isla Pancha and a viewpoint.
