Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Cañuelo retains a natural setting with abundant vegetation and fine sand, at the foot of a mountainous frontage and within an area declared a Monumento Natural. Its 800 metres of length and 35 metres of width have moderate swell and windy conditions, with moderate visitor numbers. The beach is reached from Faro de Camarinal via a difficult walking route; an interurban connection via the N-340 is also recorded. The listing records no general bathing facilities, although it does include a diving area. Its isolation and the route to reach it form an essential part of the site's character.
