Guide
Good to know
Expect limited sandy swimming spots
Small patches of sand exist among extensive rocky areas; search along the coves to find them.
Visit on weekdays for solitude
Weekends draw Spanish families, but mornings on workdays remain quiet enough for yoga and uninterrupted walks.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 2 visitors · 2018–2026
Wear water shoes for rocky entry

Park early or expect full lots
Free parking fills quickly on weekends and warm days, with limited spaces despite campervan tolerance.
Bring trash bags for litter cleanup
Reviewers report plastic pollution and inadequate city cleaning, with some blaming campervan occupants for poor waste disposal.
