Fantastic experience: Spectacular, several movies and commercials have been filmed on this beach... the access is a bit vertiginous because the road along the way is partly on the edge of the cliff... but it is not dangerous and wide enough... clear waters, several coves, ample parking... and a dreamlike landscape.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach with crystal clear waters where you can enjoy marine life. The access through a dirt road has its charm, discovering a nearly virgin and very unique landscape. It is not usually crowded and has a beach bar, Manaca, where you can enjoy a refreshment and a pleasant environment.

Positive experience: No está mal pero para hacer snorkel, al menos cuando yo fui, no es. Había alguna que otra ola. También piedras. Zona algo más alternativa alejada de la turístificacion. Alguna que otra Camper y perros. Ambiente relajado y chill.

Positive experience: Bonita playa y de agua cristalina, le quito una estrella porque es una pena que pudiendo llevar perros haya personas tan mal educadas que no recogen los excrementos de sus perros y te lo tengas que encontrar en la orilla o en el agua flotando. Los perros también tienen derecho a disfrutar del mar pero no se tendría que permitir éstas cosas y tendría que haber vigilancia y multas.

Fantastic experience: Una amplia playa natural, poco concurrida aunque de muy fácil y cómodo acceso sin problemas de aparcamiento. Algunas familias vienen acompañadas con sus amistades caninas y se las ve disfrutar de la arena y el mar. No hay duchas ni chiringuitos ni masajistas ni vendedores de fanta-cocacola-pataaatasfriiitaaaasss ...

Positive experience: Cala poco concurrida, sobre todo en temporada baja. Ahora, en temporada alta, no tanto. Hace unos años era una maravilla visitada por extranjeros que practicaban nudismo, muy... muy tranquila. En la actualidad mucho textil que acuden con los perros y mucha caravana que acampan de forma ilegal, y que llenan todo de basura. Una pena, como todo ha ido a peor ..con la excusa de la crisis ...y por la falta de control.

Positive experience: Almost empty beach in June. Many rocks and stones and the wind didn’t let us enjoy the day. But it is worth visiting.

Positive experience: Sombrerico beach is located 10 minutes by car from Macenas beach. The road is rocky and somewhat complicated if you don't have a fairly large car. Be cautious with the road as at two points only one car can access. The beach is very beautiful, although it is less enjoyable with high tide.

Positive experience: Playa bonita para hacer fotos en la parte de las rocas, pero fuimos a pasar el día y no nos gustó mucho. Había muchas piedras grandes al entrar en el agua, arena con chinos, acceso regular, camino de tierra donde hay sitios que cabe un coche y es de doble sentido claro. Para echar un rato genial, pero no la recomiendo para pasar el día.

Positive experience: Playa muy tranquila, se aparca muy cerca de la playa. Es mitad rocas, mitad arena.

Fantastic experience: Muy cómoda para ir con niños, hay piedrecillas al entrar en el agua y en algunas zonas bloques de hormigón. Hay que tener cuidado por donde se pisa xq donde hay algas resbala mucho aún con escarpines! Para hacer snorkel está bien.

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful cove, not very crowded, a little beyond the Torre de Cope. It's important to respect nature when snorkeling.

Positive experience: Mis nietos disfrutaron mucho viendo peces con las gafas snorkel, pues el agua estaba bastante limpia. Teniendo en cuenta que es una playa sin cuidados, se está bastante bien dentro de lo que cabe. El chiringuito de lo mejor, comimos una paella mixta deliciosa. Ah! Y pudimos llevar con nosotros a nuestro perro, tanto en la playa como en el chiringuito.

Estrella Aguado Buigues 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Playa salvaje ideal para hacer snorkel, se necesita pies de gato y el camino para llegar sólo accesible con coches altos ya que el camino es largo y en muy mal estado

Fantastic experience: Great beach for a bit of peace and quiet from the hordes of tourists over the hill in August. Sea conditions can be quite variable. Take an umbrella for sure. Visit the Chirringuito, great spot.

Negative experience: This location on the map is NOT the correct one for this beach. It is pointing to Macenas beach. Sombrerico beach is already well located, followed by Bordenares, further south, towards Carboneras.

Fantastic experience: In winter, I have slept here several times for more than a few consecutive days. It is a very quiet place with many spaces. The police have passed by many times and only send you away if you set up tables and chairs outside the vehicle.
