There is a large beach, mainly pebbles with some black sand. It is over a kilometre long and averages a width of 45 metres. An old photograph shows that there was an attempt to change it, from its original black sand and pebbles, to a golden sandy beach, but nature wasn't in agreement!

The quay and its sheletered water lies beneath the headland to the east of the town. The quay has a bench built along its length, and in the rocks at the side of the quay, you can see a lot of quite large crabs.

Besides the hotel Tofio, there are a couple of small apartment blocks that have views towards the sea. There are several restaurants and bars in the old town, which maintains its Spanish feel, possibly because the newer part of the town is some distance away on the other side of a busy road.

There is a large town square, where the townsfolk gather during Fiestas etc. The town's annual Fiesta, in celebration of the Sacred Heart, is on the 8th May.
