What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Bolnuevo Coves for its stunning natural beauty, particularly the unique eroded rock formations and clear turquoise waters ideal for snorkeling. The option for naturist beaches and scenic hikes adds to its appeal, though some note the hard sand and sea incline require caution.
"Great place to visit, nice beach but does have a slight incline entering the sea so need to be careful and vigilant when children are playing. Then on the opposite side of the road are the cliffs /Rocks that show the erosion over the years, quite amazing."
Andy Holmes
"Came here from my morning jog and was thrilled to see this view after the inclined hill. Worth it. Of course it’s drivable as well, with enough parking spaces even on weekends."
Winona Faith
"Although many people don't like the 2.5km undulating rocky road from the closest parking, it's well worth the hike of 25 minutes as the reward is some great naturist beaches, clear turquoise water, great for snorkeling due to the abundance of multi coloured fishes, as well as the beautiful mountain scenery and stunning views from the cliff tops. As mentioned these are all naturist beaches, so not for those who are offended by nudity 😉😎"
