Positive experience: Artificial river beach located in the Sevillian town of San Nicolás del Puerto in the Sierra Norte of Seville. In summer, dams hold back the water of the Galindo River. In its surroundings, you can bathe next to a Roman bridge. I recommend using water shoes because there is a lot of algae, and you can slip when entering the water, although there are handrails at certain distances. The water is not clear, rather murky... for cooling off and swimming under a Roman bridge, it's not bad... Lifeguard hours are from 12:00 to 20:00. There is a area with two beach bars that is paved and an area with vegetation and picnic areas, the latter being far from the urban center... There are showers next to one of the beach bars. In the surroundings, there is blue zone parking...
Positive experience: It's not bad for a refreshing dip, the place is nice but there is a big drawback, and that is that there is very little shade in the area where there is more water. The ground up to the water is pure concrete and it is quite uncomfortable.
Fantastic experience: A great place to cool off.
Fantastic experience: Buen lugar en Sevilla para refrescarse en verano. Bastante tranquilo
Fantastic experience: Imposible no visitarlo todos los veranos. Agua fresquita de río con diferentes profundidades, aparcamiento de pago (4€ el día) y zonas de restauración.

Fantastic experience: Solamente pondría el sonido de los chiringuitos más bajo. Aquello con los ruidos es una pelea de perros

Fantastic experience: En el parque natural de la sierra Norte de Sevilla, en el pueblo de San Nicolás del Puerto nos encontramos con esta playa artificial construida aprovechando el cauce del rio Galindón. Destacar también el puente romano que a su vez sirve de compuertas para regular el cauce del rio. Cuenta con chiringuitos, aseos y zona azul para aparcar, al ser de cemento la arena hay que vigilar no resbalar pero hay barandillas para entrar al agua sin problema. Recomiendo visitar también las Cascadas de San Nicolás del Puerto, en el nacimiento del río Hueznar. De visita obligada si estás por la zona
Positive experience: Playa San Nicolas del Puerto, es una playa artificial en plena Sierra norte de Sevilla, le falta la arena y las olas... por lo demás lo tiene casi todo... chiringuitos, duchas, el agua está un poco verde, no nos metimos además estaba helada; opción ideal para la gente que odie la arena, y el bullicio de las personas, fuimos un 27 de Agosto y había parking (zona azul) nada de agobios ni aglomeraciones.
Positive experience: Está bien, es una laguna de río artificial, para mi gusto poco cuidada, demasiada verdina acumulada con gran riesgo de caída aunque usando las barras accedes y sales sin problemas, poca zonas con sombra, hay que madrugar y el aparcamiento es zona azul
Fantastic experience: Un lugar encantador para pasar un día de playa. Y sin arena
Fantastic experience: Lugar con un gran encanto, ideal para pasar un agradable día, buen ambiente, y en un entorno natural. Para los amantes de la bici, tiene una via verde maravillosa desde estacion de ferrocarril de Cazalla de la Sierra hasta San Nicolas del puerto, pasando por isla margarita.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, loads of bars and restaurants. Very picturesque.
Positive experience: The place itself is very nice and you can eat well at the beach bar. In the water, it was very slippery and there was a lot of algae; I recommend that anyone who goes wear water shoes to avoid slipping.

Positive experience: With the drought that devours us, the little beach is a swamp; in bygone times it was very nice. The restaurant is decent.

Fantastic experience: Preciosa playa fluvial, con varios chiringos donde tomar algo y pasar la mañana o la tarde. La zona de baño, es algo resbaladiza (usar escarpines por seguridad).
Fantastic experience: Lugar fantástico, con su playa, sus chiringuitos, socorrista, etc. Muy recomendable
Negative experience: He estado varias veces y siempre me ha gustado, menos está última vez, está todo muy sucio, mucha verdina, hasta por encima del agua, muchísima gente, podría estar mucho mejor, tiene buenos chiringuito, también tienen socorristas y parking, la única pega que encima te lo ponen de zona azul.
Positive experience: Un lugar bonito,pero el suelo cerca del agua es súper resbaladizo y el agua un poco fría. La cobertura allí regular. Por lo demás un sitio tranquilo y bonito . Seguridad en todo momento.

Positive experience: Playa fluvial, fenomenal idea del Ayto, con merenderos, césped artificial, algunas sombrillas y nogales para sombra. Aparcamiento.. con Hora!! menos mal que a precio modico (4€/dia). Hay una ducha estupenda, Socorristas y barandillas de acero inoxidable IMPRESCINDIBLES para entrar en el agua sin matarse , pues la verdina hace muy resbaladiza la orilla. Hay cascadas artificiales (convendría aumentar algo su caudal....). Profundidad media inferior a 1 m en pleno agosto con casi sequía. Mejoras: alguna ducha más vendría bien, e introducir algún pez come verdina, porque renovar más el agua probablemente sea más complicado Y alguna atracción en medio (géiser o cortina de agua) airearia más el agua y seria fuente de diversión
