Ciudad Vieja - all beaches

The beach may be close to the port, but the strong currents and huge waves make it more suitable for paddling than swimming. The poor visibility doesn't make it ideal for snorkelling either. We did manage to spot one fish, but the real show was the crabs sunbathing on a rock. All in all, it's not the best beach for swimming or snorkelling.

This is our go-to beach and definitely worth a visit! The powerful waves give you a true sense of the ocean's strength. It's a large, untamed space, but there are showers and a lifeguard on duty during the summer months. The sun shines almost all day until 6pm in the summer, but in the winter, the beach is shaded by 1pm. The water is warm due to the sun-heated rocks, making it absolutely perfect.

Conveniently located right off the main road and has plenty of space.

That place is great; it's small and quiet, with a car park and a good restaurant nearby. Plus, it's easy to access, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing day out.

The ocean was bold and brave, making this beach a stunning sight. However, the tumultuous waters also make it a dangerous place to swim.

It was a shame that the grills had caught fire after I left. Hopefully they'll be back in action the next time I visit. The beach was lovely, but I was disappointed that I couldn't take advantage of the grills.
