Although their strong waves prevent you from swimming, they are perfect beaches for sunbathing and strolling. However, if you want to swim for a while you can walk to Arenilla or La Piscina, which are white sand beaches and calm waters where you can take a dip and even dive.

You can also take tours to other beaches in the park such as the popular Cabo San Juan de Guía, which is surrounded by vegetation and has restaurants and camping areas where you can spend the night.
