Positive experience: We came towards end of April but water still quite cold and waves are too strong for a dip. And on Monday the public toilet and showers are not accessible

karen janehenderson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fabulous beach, beautiful clear water, public toilets open, no toilet roll but actually quite clean for August. Feet showers working, paid parking available just across the street, and life guards.

Negative experience: Very spacious beach... With paid parking, blue zone... And even if the car is alone and there are 200 free spots, if you don't have a ticket, you will be fined... Including holidays, Saturdays, Sundays.... There is the poor inspector... Denouncing.

Negative experience: Es una pena un entorno tan bonito, una playa tan buena, que no esté cuidada por su pueblo. Las tablillas de acceso apenas existen, y cuando hay no llegan ni a mitad de la playa, la accesibilidad para movilidad reducida es escasa, con sólo un servicio en el peñón. Las personas que vivimos en el otro extremo del paseo, totalmente abandonadas, sin tablillas de obra, sin asistencia al baño, apenas hay papeleras. Y las piedras que hay para acceder al agua son horribles, duelen los pies y apenas se puede andar. Hay playas mucho mejores alrededor y con mejores servicios. La playa canina es de pena, aunque creo que pertenece a Motril. Aquello está sucio, lleno de bichos, el acceso es por un camino de tierra y piedras.

Fantastic experience: Pleasant atmosphere, not crowded in the middle of August. The crystal clear turquoise water breaks on the almost black sand, beautiful. The sand is coarse, you won't take it home.

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful beach, with restaurants and bars available. You are on the edge of the city, but the atmosphere is pleasantly Spanish. If you want to go shopping, there are many options within walking distance. The prices at the restaurants are normal, like along the entire Costa del Sol. In summer there are more people, but you can still find a spot. Parking is nearby, although it can sometimes be full, especially during peak season.

Negative experience: It is no longer what it was. Salobreña's beach bars for eating are now high-end restaurants with excessive prices for simple tapas. Let's not even talk about a simple friend and little more; the essence of Salobreña and its good food has been lost—the espetos are of golden price range with just a simple beer, and if you don't reserve, you can't eat because they could leave some tables for people who come at different times to request a table. Well, Salobreña needs to fix the missing stretch of the promenade for better appearance and not just hunting channels; they should give a better presentation and improve cleanliness along the Salobreña coast to provide a better image.

Positive experience: La playa de la charca se encuentra en Salobreña ( Granada) . Es una playa de varios kilómetros y de un a anchura de 200 m por lo que hay bastante espacio para la sombrilla en distintas líneas. Este año realizan las calles anticovic con el tractor para que la gente ocupe una si una no y poder mantener una distancia de Seguridad adecuada pero cuando más o menos se llena las líneas la gente empieza a ocupar las calles libres, se ponen en la calle de acceso al agua....Falta control por parte del Ayuntamiento.Esta playa no tiene acceso directo para minusválidos al agua, ya que la pasarela de madera termina a 100 metros del agua. Tienen puesto de socorrista pero deberian haber más socorristas por ser una playa con mucha afluencia. No tiene como otros años puesto de protección Civil para posibles accidentes. El domingo vi como una lancha pasaba paralela a la orilla en una zona prohibida( 50 metros de la orilla) los Hidro pedales también campan a sus anchas, debería haber más control. Esa playa tiene lo que la gente mal llama la desembocadura de un riachuelo que en verdad es una acequia que llega al agua sin control, ya que puede contener pesticidas de los cultivos, desagües, etc

Fantastic experience: Very quiet beach, equipped with all the services and facilities. Family atmosphere. It tends to be packed during the season. There is a wide variety of options for dining and accommodation around. It is easily accessible from the town center, even walking from the bus station.

Negative experience: The beach is not bad, like the ones in the area. What is shameful is the blue zone, I have never seen anything like it, from 9 AM to 9 PM, without a break at noon, and expensive. This makes you not want to go for a walk, have a drink, or anything, a shame for the few shops that are in the area.
