Located on the north coast, directly off the highway in Cabrera, this light blond-sand beach is not what you expect: a river flows so near, it gives the sand a soft, spongy texture, while the sea is a mixture of cool and warm water from one end to the other. It is an intriguing experience, but the shallow waters make it even more ideal for everyone. 📸:@moises.arias06
