Beach at a glance
What it is like
Arenal stretches for 700 metres beside a cliff, in an isolated setting protected as a Biosphere Reserve. Its dark sand and gravel shore forms a broad beach for this stretch of coast, 25 metres wide, but without facilities. The listing records strong waves and problems caused by falling rocks, factors that affect the practical assessment of the site and explain its low occupancy. The stated access is easy on foot from the surrounding area, and there is an interurban transport connection, although no beach-specific services are detailed.
