About
- Blue Flag 2026
- About 1,200 m of dark sand and about 30 m wide
- Next to the restored old industrial chimney, a symbol of the area
- Showers, sunloungers and parasols; modern, very long promenade
- The neighbouring San Andrés also has Blue Flag 2026
Good to know
- Less touristy than the ones to the east: good if you want space
- There is a paddle surf and kayak school here (La Térmica)
- A long, flat promenade, ideal for cycling or running
