Guide
Good to know
Expect very calm, shallow water
The cove is sheltered with minimal waves, making it popular for visitors with young children who want to wade.
Go when Levante wind blows elsewhere
The breakwater shields this cove when the Levante wind is strong.
Visit at low tide
The smaller beach section disappears as the tide rises.
Avoid peak summer for parking
Parking becomes difficult during hot summer weekends, though off-season visits are described as peaceful.
Watch for rocky entry and seaweed
Stones and rocks line the water entry and seabed, with occasional seaweed accumulation, so bring water shoes.
