Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de la Guancha lies at the bottom of a ravine, in a vegetated mountainous landscape with multiple forms of protection, including Monumento Natural, Biosphere Reserve, SCI/SAC and Natural Habitats of Community Interest. Its 500 metres in length and 70 metres in width combine dark sand and gravel, with calm waters and low occupancy. Access on foot is difficult and it is usually reached by boat; the beach is also naturist. The nearest marina is Puerto Deportivo de San Sebastián.
