Playa del Hornillo is a small, quiet beach located within a private urbanization. The beach is known for its fine sand and clear, not too cold water. It is often frequented by families and is generally not crowded. However, it is recommended to arrive early or mid-afternoon on weekends to avoid parking too far away. The beach cannot be accessed directly by car, but free parking is available about 5-10 minutes away on foot.
The beach is particularly popular among snorkeling enthusiasts due to the presence of mantelinas, a type of protected ray fish, which can often be seen swimming close to the shore. Despite its natural beauty, the beach lacks certain amenities such as toilets and shade, so visitors are advised to bring their own umbrellas.
One downside is that the beach can sometimes be dirty due to its proximity to a port. Additionally, it can get windy, which some visitors might find unpleasant. Despite these minor drawbacks, Playa del Hornillo is a peaceful retreat for those seeking a less crowded beach experience.
