Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Catro Cordas, also known as Aduana, is a narrow beach linked to a shellfish-farming area and used to repair bateas. Its golden-sand shore extends for about 200 metres, although it is barely 2 metres wide, and is surrounded by vegetation in an isolated semi-urban coastal setting. Calm waters complete a landscape more associated with shellfish activity than conventional bathing. Access is easy on foot or by car via the CC-550, with a connection on the interurban bus between Vilagarcía and As Sinas.
