Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Cruces is an urban beach of golden sand, 200 metres long and barely 5 metres wide, known for the presence of small boats anchored in the area. Although the coastal frontage is classified as semi-urban, it has a seafront promenade, calm waters and low occupancy. Access is easy on foot or by car, with parking for fewer than 50 vehicles. The record adds a cleaning service and a connection with Puerto Deportivo de Ribeira.
