ā ā ā ā ā a year agoSmall beautiful jewel! Gorgeous at the sunset. Good spot to hunt for large sea shells š easy to get to from the Malaga center by just walking by the shore. Or by bus to the last stop, num. 3 to El Palo or 11 to Playa Virginia.

ā ā ā ā ā a year agoVery clean and see-trough water. I did not like the beach near MĆ”laga so we drove here. It was definitely worth it. I do not know why this has opening hours because that does not make sense. This place has a bar, friendly people. The beach is mostly sand and not many stones.
