Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Ballota is recognised by the Castro Ballota islet, located opposite a beach of white sand and rounded stones beneath cliffs. Its 350-metre length and 62-metre width form part of a protected landscape on the eastern coast, with vegetation and Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) and Site of Community Importance (SCI) designations. Although the setting is semi-urban, the beach retains medium visitor numbers and a coastal character open to the landscape. Access is signposted and possible on foot or by car via the N-634, with more than 100 parking spaces.
