"Highly recommend! We really enjoyed the place. It was our very first moments in Spain so we really appreciated that everyone was so friendly and communicative. The place is empty at noon and it gets crowded in minutes. The manager speaks in English so there was no problem to place an order. We tried salmon and spanish tortilla. Everything was really good and we got it very fast! Loved the view! We will be back for sure!"

"Overall, good experience. Nice seafood paella, grilled octopus. Descent deserts. Loved to dine on the beach. Service was fast and friendly. Burger was strange though (no burger bun, just same as the one served as snack). Toilets are very basic beach toilets outside - for those who prefer…"

"Food was not the highlight here but location and ambient is. Food is ok but not great. Service was friendly and quick however it could be slow when crowded. Place is great for big groups and kids since its right on the beach."

"Chiringuito Las Gaviotas was an excellent choice, perfectly situated by the beach with a refreshing sea breeze and stunning sea views. The salmorejo was fresh, creamy, and full of flavor. The sardines, grilled in front of us, were a highlight, as were the sensational gambas a la plancha. The staff was professional and attentive, making for a memorable dining experience."

"Simply the best! A favourite place of ours which we dropped in to for a light refreshment most days. We also dined here one evening on the beach with family and friends and had a fantastic night watching the sunset whilst the kids played football on the beach. Both the food and service was 1st class and the prices were very reasonable. If we find ourself back in the area this is definitely one of the first places we will return to."
