Why it is worth your time
Pical sits a little further out than the beaches closest to the old town, which tends to thin out the crowd. It is a straightforward spot for a swim away from the busiest stretches, with the coast road nearby for an easy return. Good for an afternoon when a quieter patch of water matters more than convenience.
