Playa de las Salinicas is a secluded beach known for its unique natural characteristics. Unlike typical sandy beaches, Playa de las Salinicas is covered in very fine round pebbles, giving it a distinctive appeal. The water at this beach is crystal clear, adding to its allure.
One of the most notable features of Playa de las Salinicas is its location. It is situated next to the more crowded Beach of the Dead, but due to its challenging access, it remains a quiet and peaceful spot. The beach is accessible only by swimming, boat, kayak, or by navigating a dangerous ravine. The ravine can be reached from the end of the viewpoint of the dead.
Due to the difficult access, the beach is often uncrowded, making it a perfect spot for those seeking tranquility and isolation. However, visitors should be prepared for the challenging journey and should have suitable shoes and climbing technique for certain sections. Despite the challenges, the reward is a serene and beautiful cove, free from the usual saturation of people found at more accessible beaches.
Visitor reviews highlight the pristine, crystal clear water and the tranquility of the beach due to its difficult access and low influx of people. They appreciate the wild and isolated nature of the cove, which can be reached by swimming, boat, or kayak, or by navigating a challenging ravine. However, visitors complain about the dangerous and difficult access to the beach, requiring suitable shoes and climbing techniques in some sections.
