Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Fonsalia stands out for its surroundings of farms and banana plantations, unusual for a beach integrated into an urban frontage. The shore, 135 metres long and 25 metres wide, combines rounded stones and fine gravel, with a seafront promenade and vegetation. Although the entry describes it as having calm waters, the usual conditions are listed as moderate swell. Access is by car from the TF-47, with between 50 and 100 parking spaces and an interurban bus connection.
