The Big Beach

Negative experience: Until November 12, well maintained, the showers are still operational. Unfortunately, it’s been messed up by undisciplined dog owners! Question: why do I have to take my dog to the children's, volleyball, and soccer area?? However, overnight all accesses were closed with gates and the gaps for kilometers were fenced off (no information, access to the water is not possible). Now it is at least a dog-free zone, the only advantage. In the meantime, it turns out that sand transport is happening extensively along the water — the blocking is therefore understandable, but certainly not outside of working hours and on Saturdays and Sundays!!

Fantastic experience: Huge beach, with very small pebbles, family-friendly atmosphere. It has a couple of beach bars/restaurants. There is also a volleyball court and a soccer field. The beach is very nice, and the times I have gone there is no problem finding parking. The lifeguard team walks around the beach quite frequently, so it seems like a safe beach. It's worth noting that the beach is very clean.

Fantastic experience: Wide beach with shower services and lifeguards. It has beach bars. The entry to the sea has a few small pebbles. Free parking.

Positive experience: Long and wide beach with fine sand. Plenty of parking nearby. Blue flag beach with beach bars and accessible areas for swimming.

Fantastic experience: Big beach, fine sand, and easy parking.

Fantastic experience: Perfect for going with children!!! Very clean, with fine sand and it doesn't sink as you get in. The only downside is that as you get into the water there are small stones, but after 3 meters inside, it's all fine sand. Nothing compared to Quitapellejos Beach (Palomares) which is all stones and impossible for swimming.

Negative experience: Terrible, large and dirty beach. One part of the beach is dedicated to naturism but dogs can't go there either... Not very naturist naturism.

Positive experience: Está bastante bien. No apta para perros. La playa es muy extensa y de arena fina. Para entrar en el mar, al menos en la parte en la que yo he estado, justo enfrente del chiringuito “mar y arena”, hay una hilera de piedrecitas, pero ya dentro del agua, el suelo es todo de arena. Hay un pequeño escalón para entrar al agua donde están esas piedrecitas, pero ya. No es necesario el uso de escarpines ni nada

Positive experience: Muy buena playa, limpia con buen acceso y con chiringuitos y puestos de actividades maritimas, el pero son las duchas apenas puedes lavarte los pies, hay pocas y no sale agua de ellas toda una cortada de rollo al salir de la playa. La pena y esto va en general que en España no se empiecen ha habilitar u acotar mas zonas en playas asi de hermosas y largas donde podamos ir con nuestros perros, estamos en una era moderna en que casi todo el mundo tiene perro y aun estamos atrasados no podemos disfrutar apenas con ellos en ningun lugar, y recordar que manchamos nosotros mas que ellos (si eso es lo que la gente mas critica) solo los dueños nos tenemos que hacer responsables de sus cosas. Animo a los ayuntamientos de España con playas grandes y preciosas ha habilitar zonas para que nuestros animales disfruten y nosotros con ellos. Unos metros de playa harian felices a tantos .

Fantastic experience: We arrived at Playazo around 10 in the morning. We didn't have many expectations, however we were surprised by the kindness of the chiringuito Mar y Arena. I don't know if it was a misunderstanding, but we enjoyed the beds for free all morning. The beach is quite spacious, people share everything (they lent us the rackets to play) and the water is quite warm, probably due to the number of kids swimming. There are no stones in the water, which is appreciated. We will return to Playazo!!!

Fantastic experience: Beach in the town of Vera (Almería). It is very long and wide with plenty of sandy areas for towels and hammocks as well as for walking along the shore. There are designated areas for soccer and volleyball, there are showers and a few beach bars, not many. When you enter the sea, there is a small rocky area and then it is sand. When it is windy and there are many waves, the water is muddier. Otherwise, it is very spacious and calm.

Positive experience: Playa muy ancha de arena,con duchas y aseos,con socorrista,la entrada al agua es de piedrecitas muy pequeñas

Positive experience: Playa muy grande y no muy masificada. Cuenta con los servicios habituales (socorristas, duchas, baños, bares, ....) Es de arena y cuando la bandera esta verde es muy comoda para el baño. Totalmente recomendable.

Fantastic experience: Very good beach. Clean. With lifeguards and enough space. It gets a little crowded on Sundays.

Fantastic experience: Playa amplia y limpia. El horario de socorrista es a partir de la 11.30 y si vas a la parte de detrás del Zimbali, tienes baños y duchas, además de contenedores en la entrada a la playa y para las sillas de rueda, un sitio acondicionado

Fantastic experience: Playa preciosa con mucho espacio, ideal para volar la cometa y dar largos paseos. Arena fina, pocas algas y servicio de socorrismo, no se puede pedir más.

Fantastic experience: As its name implies, a large beach. Moderate waves are common, which makes it very fun. Good facilities, such as showers, goals, volleyball courts... There are some beach bars, although they are not its strong suit.
