First visit to this charming beach in Nigrán. Magical place to have a drink at its beach bar, with good music and watch an impressive sunset.

It is a small beach but good to be on when there is a north wind. It has a beach bar that plays good music and the atmosphere in general is good.

Quiet beach to go with the family. Protected from the annoying north wind and at one end of the beach there is shade from trees. Perfect on hot days. When the tide is low there are many rocks
