What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de las Arenas occupies an isolated and attractive stretch of the coast of Val de San Vicente, beside which there is a campsite that accounts for a large proportion of its visitors. The beach is 200 metres long and 15 metres wide, combining golden sand and rounded stones below a cliff frontage. The listing notes wind and strong swell, as well as high visitor numbers. Access is difficult on foot from the CA-380, with fewer than 50 parking spaces and an interurban bus service. It has cleaning services and danger signage.
