Playa Sardinera is a beautiful beach located in a slightly protected cove. The beach is characterized by its calm waters, making it an ideal location for families with children. The shallow waters extend quite far from the shore, allowing for safe and enjoyable swimming. The beach is also known for its light brown sand and abundance of shells.
The beach is unique in its circular style, with rocks that break the waves, creating a large pool of calm, clear water. This natural feature also contributes to the beach's popularity for snorkeling, especially when the water is calm. However, visitors should be aware of a strong east to west current, which can be fun to ride in but requires caution. The rip tide goes out to the east, so less confident swimmers are advised to stay to the west. High tide can also bring water over the rocks on the right side of the beach.
Playa Sardinera offers several amenities for visitors. There are places to park and showers for rinsing off after a day at the beach. There are also small huts for those who prefer to stay out of the sun. Despite its popularity, the beach is rarely too crowded, providing a comfortable and enjoyable beach experience for all visitors.
While the beach is generally clean, visitors are encouraged to use the trash cans provided to help maintain the beauty of the beach.
