Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Fraile is an isolated beach 420 metres long and 39 metres wide, formed by sand, rounded stones and dark gravel at the foot of a cliff. Strong waves and the presence of rocks make bathing conditions difficult, in surroundings with low visitor numbers and vegetation. The seafront promenade accompanies this stretch, which the listing protects as a natural area, although pedestrian access is partly restricted along Camino de El Fraile. It is reached on foot via an easy route from the TF-445.
