Jorge and I had a lovely time taking strolls together when I was pregnant with our little one at this serene beach. What's more, it was easily accessible, making it even more enjoyable.

This spot is gorgeous, with golden fine sand at low tide and stones when the tide rises.

A picturesque cove with a shower, and close by there is a recreational area with tables and public parking. Plus, it's adjacent to another larger beach, and it has golden fine sand that adds to its beauty.

That place is a real gem - with its stunning cove, cave, and white sand, it's a sight to behold!

This location is very neglected, with a lot of dirt and not just algae, but also, if not empty milk and butter cartons, pieces of pvc pipes, hard plastic pieces, etc. The smell of the beach is noticeable from before even entering it. There is a sign prohibiting dogs, which I do not understand as it is already so dirty. Sadly, I do not recommend this beach at all, especially as it is not easily accessible either.
