Positive experience: Traffic chaos, lack of parking spaces, many rude people, dirt, pebble beaches, few shops and bars for the number of people, all in the two main summer months.
Positive experience: Very nice but in summer they charge you a lot for parking.
Positive experience: Pleasant, with many services, not overcrowded. In the afternoons, the wind picks up a lot. A pleasant promenade. You only have to pay for parking during July, August, and Easter week.
Positive experience: I didn't feel comfortable, there were many jet skis making noise, and if you want to spend the day at the beach, you have to pay for blue zone parking.
Fantastic experience: A very calm and family-friendly beach, although sometimes jet skis can be a bit bothersome. Generally very peaceful.

Positive experience: I don't give it 5 because it is prohibited to bring dogs to the beach, however, it is rare the day you go down and there are not 3-4 dogs around you, even loose mailinoise without a muzzle and the lifeguards say nothing. If you can't find a beach to go to with your dog, you can go to Velilla; it's a banana republic. People reserve spots and then feel offended if you sit next to them when they are not there. I would ask for more compliance with the rules.
Negative experience: No se permiten mascotas, pero las motos de agua todo e día molestando no hay problema. Imposible encontrar aparcamiento
Negative experience: No me permiten mascotas

VIVA LA LIVERTA PARA ESTAS MAFIAS DE COSTAS Y AYUNTAMIENTO DIRIGIDAS POR LA PROPIA GESTAPO. MISMOS PERROS CON DIFERENTES COLLARES. PRONTO VERÉIS VUESTRO FIN MAFIOSOS LADRONES. LA LIVERTA ES UN DERECHO DE CADA CIUDADANO COMO ES POSIBLE QUE SEA DENUNCIADA, HOY DÍA TANTO AYUNTAMIENTO COMO COSTAS SON GOBERNADAS POR LAS POLITICAS MAFIOSAS QUE DIRIGEN SOLO A LA EXCLABITUD DEL SER HUMANO.
Positive experience: Es una playa preciosa pero no está bien cuidada, la gente tira colillas, cáscaras de pipas y lleva a los perros

Positive experience: Too many large rocks in the sandy area
Positive experience: You should go there with water shoes because the whole beach is stony, but the water is crystal clear, always a little cold.
Positive experience: Nice beach, not a typical sandy beach. Fine stones and sand at the start of the beach. Long beach with a nice view. Okay restaurants several places on the beach. No sun loungers, you have to bring your own.

Fantastic experience: A great beach, a fantastic promenade, and there are bars and supermarkets everywhere, as well as beach bars.

Fantastic experience: Buen ambiente, limpia con duchas, socorristas para pasar un día o días geniales, deberían vigilar más las motos de agua
Negative experience: Masificada, de chinos, para variar en la "maravillosa" costa granadina, con todo lo que ello conlleva. Que es peligrosa por tener rompeolas y corrientes (resaca), incómoda para algo más de un rato e imposible para los niños que se aburren al no poder bañarse con un mínimo de seguridad y no poder hacer ni un triste castillo de arena

Fantastic experience: It was so beautiful here. I'm gonna miss this place. ❤️
Fantastic experience: Crystal clear water. I advise bringing snorkeling goggles, as you will easily see schools of small fish while swimming. Although I didn't find strong currents in the sea, care should be taken with small children, as the depth increases very quickly.
Positive experience: Crystal clear waters very clean

Positive experience: Playa muy limpia con buen ambiente familiar y fáciles accesos. Además, tiene parking de pago para los meses que hay más gente. Los nuevos chiringuitos son geniales. También puedes alquilar canoas, patines, motos de agua, windsurf... Lo malo que es playa de piedras y resulta algo incómodo, pero también la hace más limpia.

Positive experience: Very nice but in summer they charge you a lot for parking.
Fantastic experience: I have been living here for about a month and I'm delighted, with my neighbors, with people in general, with the atmosphere, with the beach, with the stores.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach! With a lot of marine life and beautiful scenery. It's ideal for diving. The businesses are quite good, the only downside is that there is a lot of tourism during the high seasons.
Positive experience: Pleasant, with many services, not overcrowded. In the afternoons, the wind picks up a lot. A pleasant promenade. You only have to pay for parking during July, August, and Easter week.

Fantastic experience: My colleague Luis is at this beach these days, but I think he should have gone to Cantarriján beach.
Fantastic experience: My brother will be around today and tomorrow. A heads up for those who are there these days, take the opportunity to ask him for a photo. He looks like Rufián.
Fantastic experience: There is a friend there named Luis. You will recognize him right away because he has a head like the rocks on the beach and speaks like Dani Martín. He is accompanied by a Pitbull, which barks a lot. Regards
Fantastic experience: My brother-in-law Luis is there and says it's really cool, especially the nudist part. You'll recognize him because he's walking around with his mushroom out. Literally a mushroom, the kind that is fat. After 7:00 PM, he puts on one of those white socks with the 3 colored stripes because it gets chilly. Regards
Fantastic experience: My friend Luisito El Cariñoso went to that beach today because he had been in the hospital of Almuñecar undergoing surgery for phimosis, and he told his wife... since we are here next to the beach, let's bring some schnitzels and salad with a little bread. I think tonight he was going to the bingo to gamble it all on 5. By the way, Luis is a great inventor. He was the one who invented Quesonette, which is a cheese with a hole in the middle, like Donettes.
Fantastic experience: There’s a buddy by that beach, his name is Luis. He looks for half-smoked cigarette butts. If you see him, invite him to eat because he’s a really nice guy and very outgoing, although at first he is quite shy.
Fantastic experience: Arriving at Velilla beach every Tuesday afternoon, you will be entertained by Luis, who, microphone in hand and in his underwear, will announce: 'THE MELON VENDOR HAS ARRIVED' with his hanging scrotums and that charm that characterizes him, or he will make you enjoy the sunset with unforgettable views. Legend has it that anyone who puts a coin in Luis's piggy bank is guaranteed to return to this place at some point in their life (he accepts banknotes in the form of a roll after lubrication).
Fantastic experience: Plenty of space, clean beach
Positive experience: Delicious food, especially grilled fish outside, very nice staff.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful
Positive experience: Calm, without rush
Fantastic experience: I will come back a lot.
Fantastic experience: It is one of my favorite places, a wide beach with places to eat and go for beers, you also have options to buy food in small shops and a tobacco shop.
Positive experience: The best beach, the only thing I don't like is that when the sea is dirty, the boat to clean it doesn't come, and in September the shower water is turned off and we can't wash off the sea salt.
Positive experience: Buen paseo marítimo ideal para pasear y buenos chiringuitos.
Fantastic experience: In our habits, we love it even if it's not sand, the water is great in early September ☘️☘️
Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, I love it
Fantastic experience: Very quiet beach.
Fantastic experience: Magical corner for a beach day, I recommend water shoes, but they are not essential, very good beach bars, especially Casa Mariano, quality and good service.
Positive experience: I don't give it 5 because it is prohibited to bring dogs to the beach, however, it is rare the day you go down and there are not 3-4 dogs around you, even loose mailinoise without a muzzle and the lifeguards say nothing. If you can't find a beach to go to with your dog, you can go to Velilla; it's a banana republic. People reserve spots and then feel offended if you sit next to them when they are not there. I would ask for more compliance with the rules.

Fantastic experience: A very calm and family-friendly beach, although sometimes jet skis can be a bit bothersome. Generally very peaceful.
Positive experience: The beach is spacious, has showers, access with a walkway, and several beach bars. The only downside is that it doesn't seem like a suitable beach for small children, elderly people, or people with reduced mobility. It is a beach with stones, a step, and the sea is often rough.
Fantastic experience: Nice long beach with plenty of summer activities.
Fantastic experience: I love being in Almuñécar it's such a wonderful place with friendly people and lots of shops to keep you happy and the fridge full. Lots of bars along the beach in the summer but only a few open in the winter
Fantastic experience: One of the better beaches in the area
