Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Peñón is a semi-urban beach of rounded stones and rock, 150 metres long and 15 metres wide, below a similarly semi-urban coastal frontage. The waves are strong and the official observation links this stretch with wave sports; the description also notes natural pools at low tide. Occupancy is low. Access is easy on foot or by car from the GC-2, with parking, an interurban bus and food service as practical facilities.
