About the beach
A long stretch of sand reached through a small inlet in the coastline, bounded by pale sandstone cliffs shaped by erosion. From here the sand runs south for about 11 km to Baleal. It is a quiet, little-visited beach with a strong swell that surfers and bodyboarders appreciate. It has a lifeguard during the bathing season, parking and a bar.
