Beach description

Playa del Barco, , which always has strong waves and deep enough bottom, is the most suitable place for fans of surfing, kitesurfing and diving. The seabed is sandy as well as the beach line. Nereby, there is a surfing school. Young people gather here, who are always ready to party all night, and during the day to hunt for a high wave.

The second Playa del Desplayado beach, separated from the first one by a cape, is strikingly different from Barco. The water is still here, the seabed is not deep and nice, comfortable entry in the sea, therefore families with children choose it.
