Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Francesa, also called La Herradura, is a white sandy beach 700 metres long on the island of La Graciosa. The beach is isolated, 30 metres wide, and opens onto a dune frontage within protected natural areas and the ZEC and ZEPA designations. Its usual waters are calm, occupancy is low and naturism is permitted. Access on foot is easy. No specific services are detailed, so its description is defined by its scale, dune landscape and protected character.
