Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de la Cantera is a rocky cove 300 metres long and 20 metres wide, set at the foot of a ravine and surrounded by cliffs. It can only be reached by boat, a feature that keeps use low and defines its isolated character. It forms part of a vegetated setting included in a Special Protection Area for Birds (ZEPA) and Reserva de la Biosfera, and has calm waters. The GM-3 road is given as the land reference, while Puerto Deportivo de San Sebastián is the associated port in the listing.
