Small, but very cozy and protected from the wind. Its clean and tranquil waters make it a great spot for swimming and taking in the stunning views of the estuary. You can even spot mussel boats and the Besugo fish farm from the shore, as well as the nearby port of Lorbé. And with easy access to services and bars-restaurants right next door, this beach is a great place to relax and enjoy the day.
The beach near the castle of Santa Cruz is easily accessible and has paid parking lots. Going up a hill to the right, you'll find a dirt road that leads down to the beach, where there is a lifeguard post and an ice cream kiosk. The beach itself is split in two, with one half covered in pebbles that make walking difficult and the other half being sand. While it's a bit run down, it's still an ideal spot for a beach day.
The people who visit that beach can become quickly bored due to the presence of legal, but loud, nautical motorcycles that travel through the estuary. Fortunately, they have a direct line to the Civil Guard to report any issues.
This river beach is only reachable by foot or bike, creating a peaceful atmosphere with few people and the sounds of nature, including the frogs. The water is refreshing and gradually deepens, allowing you to see the bottom clearly as you walk in. The only downsides are the lack of drinking water sources and shade - there are no trees along the path or on the beach to provide relief from the sun.
