Negative experience: Interestingly, when a beach bar owner with his own parking joins the city government, that's when they prohibit parking on the entire remaining beach except at his own beach bar, which is the first along the entire beach line with parking. Curious. Aside from that, it is dirty, full of normal vegetation since it is a vacant lot with seawater and is less cared for than a school desk. Small attempts at remodeling that look nice for the photo but, in reality and day-to-day, amount to nothing. What a shame.
Fantastic experience: Hay un pega, ya no se puede aparcar en la arena.
Fantastic experience: Playa limpia con buenas instalaciones, sin coches
Positive experience: Adaptada para personas con movilidad reducida y bandera azul. Todos los accesos a la olaya tienen un camino que llega cerca de la orilla, que por cierto está lejos. Poseen duchas con agua. La playa está muy limpia. No es de arena ni de piedras, es algo intermedio de color gris ceniza que no mancha. Mucho sitio donde nadie te molesta. No se ve el fondo a pesar de que el agua está limpia. Posee puesto de socorro. Mucha tranquilidad y el agua a la temperatura ideal.
Negative experience: Sin aparcamientos

Positive experience: Very beautiful beach, views of Varadero and relatively warm and calm waters. Dog area so that dogs can also enjoy. A few beach bars nearby. Not a very crowded beach. However, there is little sand and a lot of stone, it is quite dirty (butts, hooks, ropes, and others in every sandy area) and some other issues, but a very good beach.
Fantastic experience: We have spent a week enjoying this beach with our pet, we were struck by its crystal-clear waters and the water temperature was perfect. I refer to the people who have accompanied us during these days, as we all were able to enjoy hours of sun, water, and our pets and play with them. We had a great time, and I recommend and encourage you to visit this magnificent beach.
Positive experience: It is not one of the best beaches for swimming or walking, it has many rocks but offsets it with the clean and crystal clear water. It is quite spacious and there is no overcrowding. A couple of beach bars and an ice cream stand, with fairly balanced prices, I would even say 'cheap'. It also has a designated area for dogs, which I think is ideal for them to enjoy as well. The services are rather scarce, just like the restaurants...
Fantastic experience: Una playa estupenda, y lo mejor es que hay una zona canina.
Fantastic experience: Playacan de Motril es una excelente alternativa para disfrutar con nuestras mascotas

Fantastic experience: El chiringuito genial, servicio rápido y con medidas de seguridad, la playa estaba bien pero era de perros y el problema no eran los perros sino una dueña que no estaba al cuidado de su perro y me molestó,meándose en mi hamaca y me respondió que era una playa de perros. No volveré a ir

Positive experience: As expected, it was overcrowded and there were constant disturbances from beach bag vendors. Otherwise, it is a really well-maintained beach where one would like to linger.
