A favourite of Casa Nana, El Playazo is a nearby beach which is wild and wonderful. It is approached through the stunning, other-worldly valley of Rodalquillar and down a dusty road of towering palms and Moorish ruins. There is free parking at Playazo beach but, as with all the park's virgin beaches, it has no other visitor facilities. Families bring their cool boxes, folding chairs and parasols for a day's bathing, rock climbing, and exploring of natural pools set into the rocks. Walk over the rocks on the left of the beach to discover the sheltered and shallow 'secret beach' (clothes optional...)
Playazo is a magical, exceptionally beautiful place that changes with the seasons, but often offers visitors calm, clear turquoise waters that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
