Set between dramatic headlands 3km northeast of Las Negras, this sandy hideaway is the holy grail of the park's numerous beaches. The 250m-long playa, backed by a pocket of verdant scrubland dotted with the thatched huts of a long-standing New Age settlement, is only accessible on foot or by boat from Las Negras (€12 return; departure frequencies depend on demand and weather).
