Wonderful, casual spot for, yes, ice cream or beer! (Or meals.) On the Mediterranean, as you can see. Not rushed. Good prices (two beers and cafe lecce came in at €6 or so).

Excellent location, overlooking the beach and playa walk, not far from free parking area, also walk into the town centre, approx 20mins. Tapas, drinks etc, very good. Service is subject to who's on shift.

Great place to stop and eat. We had the meat platter for 2 to share which was plenty enough to eat. Beer was super cold and refreshing.

After our swim on the beach my friend and I had lunch here and it was very delicious. I tried shark for the first time! I was a bit nervous but you know what it was tasty. All the tapas was tasty (pork, octopus, fries, fish). Service was a bit slow though and they weren't that busy but it was a very hot day (I think the temperature on this particular day was close to 40°C). Great location as this place is right by the beach. They also sell ice cream and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. I'd eat here again for sure.

Pretty good desserts and fast service. Directly in front of the beach which is quite nice and pleasant not too loud music. Toilets could be cleaner though.

Well located bar/restaurant close to the beach. Great value. I enjoyed an excellent Morcilla Picante. Will definitely revisit next time I'm back in Almeria.
