What can I say that hasn't already been said... well, they're doing construction on the few parking spaces there were, I hope they don't ruin the place which is getting more and more crowded.

Excellent. Especially if you're passionate about snorkeling.

It's a paradise, a beautiful beach with calm waters perfect for surfing and snorkeling while watching the fish. You have to leave your car at the top of the cliff, and then a small bus takes you to the beach for only €2.60 round trip. One of the most beautiful places in Andalusia!
