Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Muerto consists of a main beach and a small cove linked by a pedestrian path; another path connects both with Playa de Cotobro. Together they reach 400 metres in length and 42 metres in width, with dark gravel, an isolated character and a mountainous frontage. Calm waters and medium occupancy accompany a coastal experience defined by walking routes. Access is from Cotobro, and the listing also records arrival by boat, litter bins, cleaning and sun-lounger hire.
