Guide

Good to know

Beach bars and shallow water
Multiple chiringuitos serve food and drinks, and visitors report shallow, clear water ideal for swimming and relaxation.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2017–2026
Visit before August
August brings extremely cold water, heavy jellyfish presence, and severe overcrowding that limits available space.
Wear water shoes for entry
Rocks near the shoreline are common enough that barefoot wading risks foot damage; some areas have less rocky access.
Reserve a sunbed in advance
Sunbeds cost around eight euros and typically require advance reservation during peak season.
