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
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.
Fantastic experience: Wide beach, easy parking. Numerous beach bars and kiosks. No water shoes required.
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.
Positive experience: One of the best beaches in Granada, close to Granada and very accessible

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: Playa abierta y muy cómoda para la cercanía de establecimientos y del paseo.

Fantastic experience: Nice beach with very small pebbles and all the services to have a great day at the beach.
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: I really liked it, the beach was clean and the water. The temperature was perfect.
Positive experience: It is a calm and very family-friendly beach; instead of sand, it has small rocks. The water is usually very clean, and the sunsets are incredible.
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach, although it's not fine sand, it's small pebbles, the beach is very clean. The water is very clear. I liked it a lot and also there are several beach bars right on the beach which are amazing.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, like any beach in summer it is crowded, but once summer is over, you can enjoy the spaciousness, the sunset, the tranquility... there are beach bars to eat, showers, a football field... Great!
Fantastic experience: Wide beach, easy parking. Numerous beach bars and kiosks. No water shoes required.
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.

Fantastic experience: Baños publicos Socorrista Piedra fina
Fantastic experience: Seguridad
Positive experience: Playa muy bonita y con espacio suficiente para respetar la distancia de seguridad. El único pero es que los baños están cerrados
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: Playa tranquila con muchos socorristas y no muy aglomerada para estar tranquilitos

Fantastic experience: Good beach to spend the day
Fantastic experience: Wide beach, easy parking. Numerous beach bars and kiosks. No water shoes required.
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.
Fantastic experience: Too overcrowded
Fantastic experience: For me, one of the best
Positive experience: Nice place, but like all coastal areas, you have to go early.

Positive experience: It is a calm and very family-friendly beach; instead of sand, it has small rocks. The water is usually very clean, and the sunsets are incredible.
Positive experience: Neither here nor there, there are a lot of people, many waves, and when we went there were also a lot of seaweeds, but it is very beautiful and you can see some incredible sunsets.
