Beach description

Sunrises and sunsets seem especially bewitching against the background of the rocky coast, overhanging the ocean cliffs and noisy ocean waters. In the rays of the predawn and setting sun this area acquires truly fabulous charm. In summer, it is very crowded there. But rescuers even during the season control the beach only on weekends, when there are most guests on the coast. The coast attracts out of the season a few of surfers and lovers of secluded walks along the picturesque coast which acquires a mystical look in foggy or rainy weather.

The most interesting is the northern part of the beach where there are many sea caves. But you can visit it only during low tide. Only people with sound health are capable to get to El Matador as it is located at the bottom of a 45-meter cliff. To get to the coast you have to overcome difficult descent along a steep staircases. In bad weather this may be a dangerous undertaking.

When is the best time to go?

To lay off on the beaches of the mainland, it is best to come in the summer, when a sufficiently warm temperature is settled for swimming. Places like Florida or the Hawaiian Islands are comfortable all year round.
