Beautiful and tranquil and empty on Late October afternoon. Would recommend Fantastic cove accessed by a long windy track. Parking available. The restaurant has amazing food complimented by good service. Advance booking required Nice place to swim, enjoy with family or friends. Different blue colours of the sea. There are a lot rocks but is amazing Absolutely one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen! Intimate, beautiful - perfect for snorkeling. Showers and toilets on the beach, as well as a bar and a restaurant. A place where you want to come back. Great location by the sea, but a little bumpy road the last part. They have excellent food and drink, but a little pricey compared to other restaurants. We had the shrimps in oil and a paella which were absolutely marvelous. A very scenic mountain carved road that leads down to a small rugged between the mountains. From the end of la manga, the walk down to the takes about 30 mins and is a decent hike. Would recommend to walk as you can take in the great views, but you can also drive. Incredibly beautiful, the road that takes you down to this little offers you a spectacular view of the cliffs over the blue Mediterranean Sea. When you arrive at the end of the dirt road there's a large parking and a little walk of around 100 meters. The is very small covered with pebbles and small rocks, with a tiny sandy corner. There's an accessibile cave just next to the beach. The water is pristine clean with millions of fishes that come and poke your legs. Perfect for snorkeling. The shore has a steep depth, so, non swimmers need to be close to the shore, also, rock shoes are recommended. There's a chiringuito with coffee, ice creams and beer/wine/spirits, but it's not cheap. The restaurant over the is really picturesque and it fit nicely with the environment, but it's very pricey. There's also public showers for when you leave the beach, a rare feature and very welcome. As well as showers, there's toilets. I couldn't see any lifeguard, so, be careful here. Overall, definitely one of our favourite destination. 10/10 The road was a bit abandoned, difficult to drive on, but the view is breathtaking and was worth it, the is public and restaurant a bit pricey for Spain. Went there the other day, absolutely stunning - the water is crystal clear and as it’s not fully on season yet it wasn’t too crowded. Good access as it has also a walkway leading down from the carpark. Another side note as of mid may the Café, Showers and Toilets were not open/not available on weekdays if I’m not mistaken. If you go I‘d recommend maybe bringing an umbrella and shoes for the as it is rocky and the dark sand get‘s scorching hot midday. Enjoy 🌞 Great for swimming and snorkelling. Small so plan visit (earlier morning or later afternoon- we went 11am- 3pm and felt full at about midday and then eased mid afternoon). We hired a stray parasol with 2 beds and cushions plus 2 drinks for €25- it was worth it for the shade. Keep applying lots of sun cream if swimming!
