Description
Among its virtues, the intense blue water, very pleasant sand, and its isolation stand out, being far from any town and halfway between Agua Amarga and Carboneras. The shore has a significant slope, and it quickly becomes deep, making it not recommended for children to play in the water, as within a few meters from the shore, one cannot touch the bottom. This abrupt entry into the water is a consequence of strong waves breaking on the beach and dragging the sandy bottom. For this reason, we caution that swimming on this beach is dangerous during strong east winds. If the waves break strongly, the beach becomes cut off, and it is difficult to exit the water.
Except on days with strong winds, it is a splendid beach for swimming. Although it is a fairly large beach, 800 meters in length, it has become extraordinarily famous and, for this reason, is somewhat crowded in the summer.

Salinicas cove
A pristine cove nestled between cliffs: those to the north separate it from Playa del Corral, and those to the south, from Playa del Muerto, with many considering it part of the same area.
-
Description
Similar to Playa del Corral and Playa de los Muertos, it runs in a north-south direction, featuring finer sand near the shoreline that becomes coarser as you move away. The water is crystal clear and clean. It spans approximately 175 meters in length and 50 meters in width, with a low level of occupancy that increases during the summer months.
It's not uncommon to find people practicing naturism.
