Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Gaiterillo is a small, very narrow beach isolated beside the N-340. Its dark sand occupies 300 metres of length and barely 14 metres of width, with a mountain frontage, vegetation and calm waters. Visitor numbers are low and access is difficult on foot; interurban transport is 1 kilometre away. The combination of a reduced shore, the mountainous surroundings and the road's immediate proximity defines its character within the coast of Albuñol.
