Beach at a glance

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de A Cruz, also called Aguiuncho, is a white-sand beach reduced to a narrow coastal strip. It is 300 metres long but only 2 metres wide, forming part of an isolated setting with vegetation and calm waters. Its low occupancy and the presence of a pedestrian path help explain it as a simple coastal stretch without a notable concentration of services. It is easy to reach on foot or by car via the CC-550, with parking for fewer than 50 spaces and an interurban bus.
