This place is quite long, with a pebble shoreline and plenty of beach bars. There's no promenade, but you can park along the length of the beach, though availability is limited in September. It's a blue zone, so you don't have to pay for parking in the summer.

This beach is a stunning sight to behold! Its stony shoreline is pristine and immaculate, thanks to the diligent work of a tractor that rakes the beach each morning. It's a beautiful spot to enjoy a day of relaxation and serenity.

Ah, the beach! What can I say? It's a stunning little village right by the ocean. There's a great mix of locals and tourists, plus plenty of places to eat. From tasty to downright delicious, you can't go wrong. The local restaurants offer the best service, with a friendly and fun atmosphere. As for the fancier places, they're alright, I guess. But if you're looking for a place to stay, La Pension has great value for money - probably the best in Europe! And of course, the chiringuitos are all fantastic. My personal favourites are Bueno and Joaquin. For football and a chat, head to El Salon. There's also a hidden gem whose name I can't remember, but it starts with a C. All in all, just enjoy the place and talk to everyone!😜❤️
