Guide
Good to know
Arrive before 9:30am for fresh sand
A tractor levels the beach daily, finishing by 9:30am, and the bar opens at 10:00am.
Come for sunset views and walking
The beach features a long, well-maintained wooden boardwalk extending kilometers along the coast with stunning ocean and cliff views.
Visit in September or July for quiet
One reviewer found the beach nearly empty and peaceful in September, while another noted it was not crowded in July.
Wear water shoes for entry
The waterline transitions from sand to rocks and stones within a few meters, with sea urchins present on some sections.
Book restaurants ahead on weekends
Weekend beach bar seating fills quickly, and restaurant reservations are necessary to avoid being redirected to expensive nearby options.
