Positive experience: There are not enough parking spaces. We had to park in a residential area several streets inland. The beach is nice.

Negative experience: Neglected and dirty beach. You can find everything on the sand: plugs, cans, cigarette butts, plastics... and in the water, you find oil and waste. A disgusting beach. Swimming should be prohibited.

Positive experience: Door de week niet zo druk wat ik persoonlijk prettig vond. Strand bestaat uit donker zand en kiezelsteentjes. Veel restaurants in de buurt waar je tegen een redelijke prijs lekker kunt eten.

Positive experience: A pesar de estar en el pueblo y tener chiringuitos pero está muy natural sin. Aunque es cierto que la arena es negra y no siempre muy limpia. Playas extensas y buen acceso al agua

Positive experience: Vamos mucho a esta playa y hay días maravillosos y de repente llega la marea de porquería! El agua está sucia con demasiada frecuencia... Pero tiene muchas cosas buenas: duchas, baños, socorristas, puesto de la Cruz roja (un 10 todas las veces que nos han atendido) y cerca de chiringuitos, supermercado y farmacia

Negative experience: Every day, some discharges appear along the entire beach with a disgusting appearance (??waste, fecal.....??); when they are washed ashore, they disappear, but the surface of the water is oily at all times. It's a shame that the beaches are like this.

Positive experience: As a beach, it's nice. Dark sand and during the week it has few people, the weekends are another story. The town is very quiet without the crowds of nearby towns.

Positive experience: If you are a beach person then this place is ideal. They litter pick the beach every morning, it's clean. It feels like grit under your feet not sand. It does get very busy on weekends
