"We reached a place where you couldn't drive any further. We kept walking, noticing the sign that said "Playa de los Patos" (Duck Beach) and directed you to another beach... We decided to turn around and take another path where there was a sign warning of landslides... In the end, we decided not to go because the access was terrible, and it was a waste of time."
Jul 2, 2026"Getting there is tricky; you have to go through a ravine, and when you arrive, it's closed due to landslides. Access is blocked by a gate. Following the stairs to the left of the path, you can reach Bollullo Beach, although the path is dangerous, and swimming is prohibited at Bollullo Beach. It's very beautiful, but the return trip is all uphill, about half an hour from the parking area."
