Six kilometers of sand, turn the extensive beach an authentic desert. A full ecosystem of movement and life that has been worth him the title of Special Nature Reserve. In addition, they are equipped with small and mistreated wood palms that today is tried to recover, and a lagoon surrounded by taray bushes. A lighthouse dominates dunes.
In years 60, with the height of the tourism this natural space began to invade itself, reason why it was necessary to take serious protection measures.
