Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Guernal is an isolated dark-sand beach reaching 1,000 metres in length and 800 metres in width, surrounded by vegetation on a mountain frontage. Its waters are calm and the area is protected as Ramsar, ZEPA and part of the Natura 2000 Network, but the listing itself states that it is scarcely used for bathing. It is easily reached on foot from the expressway to O Grove, with interurban transport 0.2 kilometres away. Its descriptive interest lies in the breadth of the natural setting and this very limited bathing use.
