Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de la Roja, also called Oroja, is an isolated, rocky beach 500 metres long and 35 metres wide, situated in front of a mountainous backdrop. Its calm waters contrast with low occupancy and vegetated surroundings, protected as Paisaje Protegido and associated with ZEPA and SCI. Access is exclusively by boat, so the entry describes arrival as difficult and visitor numbers as low. Puerto Deportivo de San Sebastián is listed as the port reference and no beach services are indicated.
