Negative experience: The cove is very beautiful, with a restaurant even. But the parking is a dump. People are known to be messy, but I don't know if it's that the town hall doesn't clean.

Fantastic experience: Secluded cove, accessible by car only as it's very far from any place between mountains. Very beautiful and natural. Nevertheless, it has showers and a beach bar. The only problem is that instead of sand, it has some black stones that are quite uncomfortable to walk on.

Positive experience: Nice cove, easily accessible. There are a couple of beach bars there. Also, 2 showers to freshen up a bit when you finish and restrooms. Tranquil atmosphere and not too crowded, at least in this penultimate week of August.

Positive experience: Pretty place for the scenery, but a small cove overcrowded in August, large black sand, and from the shore up to 10m, impossible to see your feet due to the pollution at the shore, everyone is wading in the same spot.

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, the best cove, beautiful views and it is perfect for snorkeling, it has small caves you can enter, and a big rock to jump from different heights, it has stones so it is advisable to wear water shoes. Definitely 10/10. I have visited several coves and this is the best.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful spot, easily accessible with parking next to the cove. You have to go through a private residential area and a golf course, passing by a booth with security where you tell them you are heading to the cove, and they will either take your information or let you pass without much fuss. The cove has small pebbles, so it's advisable to wear beach shoes, and if you enjoy snorkeling, you will be amazed. There is a lot of marine life; it's one of the places where I have seen the most octopuses, sargos, mabres, groupers, small and large fish - incredible! If you go early, there are not many people, but little by little it fills up and gets crowded. We were there on September 5th, and it was so packed you couldn't fit a pin because it's small and fills up quickly. There is a restaurant that is not cheap, but as you know, when you want to eat with those views and in that setting, you have to pay for it, and it also looks good. We brought our own food and were left wanting to try it, so next time we will book a table to see how it is. A very recommended cove; it is truly a beautiful spot.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly beautiful, the road that takes you down to this little beach offers you a spectacular view of the cliffs over the blue Mediterranean Sea. When you arrive at the end of the dirt road there's a large parking and a little walk of around 100 meters. The beach is very small covered with pebbles and small rocks, with a tiny sandy corner. There's an accessibile cave just next to the beach. The water is pristine clean with millions of fishes that come and poke your legs. Perfect for snorkeling. The shore has a steep depth, so, non swimmers need to be close to the shore, also, rock beach shoes are recommended. There's a chiringuito with coffee, ice creams and beer/wine/spirits, but it's not cheap. The restaurant over the beach is really picturesque and it fit nicely with the environment, but it's very pricey. There's also public showers for when you leave the beach, a rare feature and very welcome. As well as showers, there's toilets. I couldn't see any lifeguard, so, be careful here. Overall, definitely one of our favourite destination. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Una de las más lindas de la costa blanca, me encantó que hay arena hasta una parte y un poco antes de entrar al mar hay piedritas pequeñas que no incomodan al caminar, puedes ver bastantes peces y hay un restaurante con todo lo que necesitas, también hay salvavidas y enfermeros y una excelente zona de parqueo super cerca

José Daniel López 3 years ago

Positive experience: Buen sitio para bucear, si la marea está tranquila claro, me parece mal que no haya socorrista en esta playa, mucho más necesario que en otras. El suelo marino está infectado completamente de erizos de mar negros y lilas, altamente tóxicas sus pinchas y muy fácil pisar uno si no vas buceando o mirando constantemente al suelo, y la última vez que he ido 7 agosto 2021 habían muchas medusas lilas, me picaron 2 en el pie y lo llevo que parece un tomate. La gente se mete con mareas muy fuertes y corrientes y sería necesario un equipo de rescate mínimo para poder sacarlos de ahí...

María Esperanza Moreno García 4 years ago

Positive experience: Preciosa, pero con corrientes peligrosas. No hay socorrista por lo que conviene tener prudencia. Playa de piedrecitas con agua cristalina. Imprescindible ir con escarpines para disfrutar de la visita. Lo mejor, los pececillos nadando a tu lado. Lo peor, la polvareda del camino.

Fantastic experience: Great for swimming and snorkelling. Small beach so plan visit (earlier morning or later afternoon- we went 11am- 3pm and beach felt full at about midday and then eased mid afternoon). We hired a stray parasol with 2 beach beds and cushions plus 2 drinks for €25- it was worth it for the shade. Keep applying lots of sun cream if swimming!

Fantastic experience: A small cove, made of stone and with very clear water. It is ideal for snorkeling. The parking is very close, to get there you have to pass by the nautical club. There is a restaurant, a beach bar, and several sun loungers from the restaurant occupying a good part of the cove, which takes away its naturalness. There are also showers.

Fantastic experience: Rocky beach, it is not sandy. It is more comfortable to enter the water with flip-flops or something similar, or without anything, which is also fine. It's just a little more uncomfortable. The bathroom is spectacular and for snorkeling lovers, it is a paradise. If you want a good spot, you must arrive early because it's true that later the cove gets crowded and there's no room for a pin...

Fantastic experience: Small cove with pebbles. It is nestled in a cliff area. The water is completely clear, ideal for diving. It has a great bathroom. There is a beach bar and restaurant. It has a not very large parking lot. You access it through the La Manga Club urbanization. After parking the car, you have to go down some stairs to the cove.

Carmen Clemente Cantó 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The cove of the boat is my favorite, so far. A place, in my opinion, little known (I hope it stays that way), very clean, paradisiacal, it's like being in another country all of a sudden, when you arrive the vastness of the sea is impressive. I highly recommend bringing snorkeling masks to explore the incredible marine life in this cove, it does not disappoint, truly beautiful inside and out. It is not a sandy cove, but rather a rocky one, I would recommend using water shoes and not swimming when there are large waves, it is very dangerous. Easy access with parking nearby. It is a very clean place, please don’t leave trash, respect the environment as if this were the price to be there. I could not play loud music as people seek to be quiet here. The restaurant is extremely expensive, I strongly recommend bringing your own food and drink :)

Fantastic experience: Magnificent secluded beach with a bar where you can have a drink, but it is relatively expensive. However, you have to walk from the parking lot at the top, which is a bit far. It is a pebble beach with stones. The beach limits the number of people since it is small, but it is a very beautiful little piece of paradise.

Fantastic experience: Top spot to watch the sunset. Absolutely worth a visit. Very idyllic bay. Very important, there is a single wild cat that relies mainly on drinking water and, if you have a good heart, a little food. She has probably been abandoned and cannot make it alone to civilization. Please bring something for this poor creature. There are also signs there and the cat waits heart-wrenchingly next to the sign.

Fantastic experience: We stayed one night at this cove. The access is not a problem for a 4WD as long as you drive slowly and steadily. Overnight stays are tolerated here. There are no explicit prohibition signs. We did not swim due to the high presence of algae. It's also not entirely safe due to the current and sharp rocks. There are trash bins in the parking lot. Please throw your trash in there. There was again way too much trash in the surrounding bushes. There is also a restaurant here that we did not visit. Additionally, there are toilets. Extremely beautiful place. It goes steeply down on the sides. Be careful where you step and hold your children's hands.

Fantastic experience: The cove is very beautiful and tranquil. Good parking and easy access by road or stairs. Good underwater scenery and great visibility. There are restrooms. It has a large restaurant with nice views from the terrace, at a high price.

Fantastic experience: Be careful, the road down to the beach is very poor quality, but the view worth it.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly beautiful, the road that takes you down to this little beach offers you a spectacular view of the cliffs over the blue Mediterranean Sea. When you arrive at the end of the dirt road there's a large parking and a little walk of around 100 meters. The beach is very small covered with pebbles and small rocks, with a tiny sandy corner. There's an accessibile cave just next to the beach. The water is pristine clean with millions of fishes that come and poke your legs. Perfect for snorkeling. The shore has a steep depth, so, non swimmers need to be close to the shore, also, rock beach shoes are recommended. There's a chiringuito with coffee, ice creams and beer/wine/spirits, but it's not cheap. The restaurant over the beach is really picturesque and it fit nicely with the environment, but it's very pricey. There's also public showers for when you leave the beach, a rare feature and very welcome. As well as showers, there's toilets. I couldn't see any lifeguard, so, be careful here. Overall, definitely one of our favourite destination. 10/10

Positive experience: The view is excellent, but for beach activities, not so much. It's very isolated, small beach, deep water and tipically agitated sea.

Fantastic experience: Conveniently accessible by car with free parking. Compact space, less crowded in the late afternoon, unsure about peak hours. Offers public showers and toilets and a pleasant cafe-bar.

Positive experience: Great position overlooking quiet cove. Good food and service was very good. A bit over-priced though, for what it was.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen! Intimate, beautiful - perfect for snorkeling. Showers and toilets on the beach, as well as a bar and a restaurant. A place where you want to come back.

Fantastic experience: Idyllic change up from La Manga which gets busy and atmospheric with great seafood cuisine including fresh sea bass and paella at reasonable prices all within brisk 30 minute walk of your villa. Highly recommended and remember to book plus a complimentary taxi service is available.

Fantastic experience: Nice little beach, easily accessible with car, but it can get full, so recommended to come early. The water is clear, there are animals in n the sea, but a lot of rocks too so better be careful. Diving mask is a must! :)

Fantastic experience: Great location by the sea, but a little bumpy road the last part. They have excellent food and drink, but a little pricey compared to other restaurants. We had the shrimps in oil and a paella which were absolutely marvelous.

Positive experience: A very scenic mountain carved road that leads down to a small rugged beach between the mountains. From the end of la manga, the walk down to the beach takes about 30 mins and is a decent hike. Would recommend to walk as you can take in the great views, but you can also drive.

Positive experience: The restaurant serves excellent, if expensive, seafood in a fabulous location. The cove is very picturesque but don't expect tropical sand for the kids.

Florin Sirzen 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Scenic small beach looking south. Clear water with rocky bottom, ideal for snorkeling. Parasols and showers available. The restaurant serves very good seafood. A plus for the absence of WiFi and network coverage. You can relax and concentrate on the sea, the sun and family and friends.

Negative experience: No warning about the jellyfish in the sea. In the hour I was there, 3 people, including my brother, were stung. There is no wifi, and the roaming there is dodgy so we went to the restaurant to use the phone. The staff were unhelpful, and the phone didn't work. The beach itself is pretty, but the rocks underfoot are uncomfortable to walk on. It is also worth noting the sea can get quite rough and there is no lifeguard on duty.

Fantastic experience: A small little public beach away from the crowds accessible through the La Manga Beach Club. The water can be quite choppy. Much recommended if you have a car.
