Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Río is a very narrow beach of rounded stones and gravel, surrounded by small buildings despite being listed as isolated. Its 50-metre length and barely 5-metre width form a reduced strip within a semi-urban frontage, exposed to conditions ranging from moderate to strong waves. It is included in a protected area with Site of Community Importance (SCI), Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve. Access is by car from the LP-2, with fewer than 50 parking spaces and no facilities.
