PLAYA DEL DUQUE NORTE
Playa del Duque Norte
This black beach, formerly known as Playa El Berilis very suitable for swimming thanks to its ideal location between breakwaters.
The dark natural sand has a fine structure and gradually slopes into the water. It only gets a little deeper at about 10 meters from the surf, so if you swim parallel to the shoreline, you can basically stand anywhere.
There are often crabs along the breakwaters to the left and right of the beach. A school of fish swims by here and there. To say that it is a snorkeling paradise is a bit of an exaggeration. In any case, it is worth taking swimming goggles with you.
