The beach was far from ideal - a dirty, rocky shoreline in a heavily commercialized area. It's not somewhere I'd ever want to visit again.
This spot is a true piece of paradise - a place of breathtaking beauty, with a stunning view, perfect for a romantic getaway or a fun family vacation. The sand is soft and warm, while the water is crystal clear and inviting. Wildlife abounds, with birds and other animals making their home here. It's a place of relaxation, a place to forget the worries of the world and just enjoy the serenity of nature.
I had an extremely negative experience at the beach. After a long night trip, I arrived to find it was a complete disaster. The area I saw was only 200-300 meters of Camping Playa de Poniente, but it was enough for me to decide I never wanted to go back. The sand was not sand at all, but more like clay, grey and completely unappealing. It was littered with broken glass and cigarette ends, as if there had been a wild party the night before. The air was misty, and everything clung to you, making you feel dirty even after a shower. The landscape was flat and unappealing, and although the mountains were nearby, it still gave off an unhealthy feeling. I had chosen this area because I had heard it was undeveloped, but I was not prepared for the mess I encountered.
A great spot to spend the night, although it can get quite crowded during the day. There is a small bar/restaurant/chiringuito with a fantastic view of the bay.
