Cuevas del Mar is a white sand beach with terrifying huge rock arches sprinkled around the swimming area. I have a healthy respect for the ocean and riptides so the big rocks freak me out a little, I kept thinking I was going to get smacked into them. I definitely would not bring kids to this beach because I'm a spazzy helicopter parent. But overall this beach is really cool for its uniqueness. Highly recommended. Sorry for the lack of pics, but I was too busy enjoying myself and trying not drown. Ha As I recall this beach had showers and adequate parking. There was not a restaurant on site, so pack a lunch. No handicap ramp, unless things have changed. No place to surf at this location, due to the sea caves.

This beach is something worth seeing, especially when the tide is down, and the First and Second Sardinero beaches are joined through the corner under the Piquio Gardens, and then the First Sardinero beach is joined at the other end with the Concha beach (Shell beach). You can then walk them all up and down, having 1km and 500m more or less to walk each way. You can also walk the seaside walk all along it (and further more all the way to the city centre) without interruptions! If you like a good beach, I thoroughly recommend this one.

It's hard to describe a beach, so fortunately there are a lot of nice photographs to look at here. What I love about the place, one of the things, is the tides. When its out you can go and enjoy all the sand but when it comes in, there are great waves. Actually it is a great surfing beach and many take advantage of that fact. Oh, on Sunday mornings the soccer league has their games on the beach. Nice!

It is just an absolutely wonderful spot to spend an afternoon. There is lots of room on the sand for all of the sunbathers, but there are also many secluded areas scattered between large rocks and tidepools where you can get away from the crowds. Nice days mean huge crowds, even midweek, so avoid siesta time if you can...or you will probably be parking precariously on the edge of a cliff half a mile away.
