It's a very wide and beautiful beach, perfect for spending the day. It's one of the best places to go when it's windy. We love going there as a family.

It's a complete ordeal! It's narrow, there are too many rocks, it's too steep, and it's terrible for walking. Don't bring balls, floats, or inflatable boats. The beach bars are overpriced, and 24-hour parking is 4 euros. It was a terrible day! There were people walking around naked, and it was so dirty.

It's a wonderful beach, accessible to everyone. Parking is available for a few vehicles for €5 per day. There are restaurants and beach bars just before the beach. Once you're there, a paved road leads to the lighthouse. From there, it's a 15-minute drive to another beach, which is generally less crowded. The beaches are wide and have fine sand. Depending on the wind (west/east), you might find it more comfortable or a bit windy. There are often street vendors selling handmade pastries. You can also visit the ancient Roman salt pools, which are (respectfully) open to the public. While there are signs stating that dogs are prohibited, you'll see a few running around and splashing freely in the water.

It's idyllic and beautiful, but difficult to access. There's no way to avoid the pollution. The sea turns turquoise, and a few rocks are exposed at low tide. It's flanked on one side by the Trafalgar Lighthouse and connected to Zahora, a few kilometers away, which also has parking. Beyond lies one of Andalusia's last remaining virgin forests. Don't expect to find beach bars, restrooms, or any trace of civilization.

I loved this beach. I was lucky enough to visit on a calm day, so I could enjoy the turquoise waters and try some snorkeling. There are also a few beach bars in the area.
