Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Cable is a narrow beach strip, 1,300 metres long and 40 metres wide, with dark sand and a dune landscape beside a semi-urban frontage. Vegetation and an anchoring area accompany a stretch with moderate waves and high occupancy according to the structured record, although the description mentions few visitors; the structured field is prioritised. Access is easy on foot or by car via the CN-340, with an urban bus service and an unspecified amount of parking. Practical facilities include showers, cleaning, food, watersports hire and a sports area.
