Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Barranco Seco is a large isolated cove occupying the mouth of the ravine in a landscape of cliffs and Parque Rural. Its 620 metres of length, with only 20 metres of width, form an elongated shoreline of dark sand and gravel, surrounded by vegetation and with calm waters. Access combines boat travel with a difficult walking route through the ravine itself, so the approach forms an essential part of the spatial experience. The nearby maritime reference is Puerto de Los Gigantes.
