Nice little walk down to the beach. It takes 20 minutes to get there and approximately 30 minutes to get back to the road.

Awesome place. Currently April 2025 the path is clear of weeds and rocks and well maintained but has a barrier to stop people proceeding. There is a track around the barrier.

Fantastic beach with amazing snorkellikg just off the concrete pontoon. Water can be quite choppy as you enter but it's perfectly safe if you're prepared with snorkelling equipment.

Park in the spaces near the school in town. Walk down is quite steep. I would suggest good sturdy trainers or hiking shoes for the walk down and up. The walk back up took us less than 15 minutes (2x 26 years old & 1 time healthy woman in 50s) so if your knees and everything you need for walking are okay then you'll be fine as long as you're careful!

Bring water, you'll need it. Below is a short video of the 'worst' bit going down. There is a handrail to hold on to for this!

Beautiful secluded beach, steep hike down and then up. There is a waterfall but seemed a bit dried up, the access to the water was hard, large rocks but sea seemed to be +25c or more. Remote and peaceful location, only short but steep hike.

You need to be fit to walk to the beach. No wheelchair accesa.. it will take you 20 minutes to walk down and an hour to walk up. It is hard going and shire drops so if you have a fear of heights not go. Easy route is Ribera Brava and take a boat.
