Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Embarcadero, also called El Esparto, is an isolated stony beach whose principal stated attraction is its seabed, which is why it is often visited by diving teams. The shore combines pebbles and gravel, measures 320 metres long and 25 metres wide, and lies beneath a cliff frontage, with calm waters and low occupancy. Access is easy on foot or by car from the AL-4200, with signage and an interurban bus service. The listing also records a diving service and a nautical connection with Club Náutico de San José.
