"Good place for families with smaller kids, due to warmer water, sandy beach and very shallow entrance to the sea. Downside is not very clean water due to sand. Easy parking with lot of space."
Jul 18, 2026"Nice sandy beach that is suitable for the whole family"
Jul 17, 2026"It was a beautiful and well-maintained beach, but the sea wasn’t as impressive as I’d expected. The fact that it’s calm and shallow is a plus for families, but I think there are better beaches in the center of Estepona in terms of clarity and natural beauty."
