Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Méndez is the small beach of the settlement of Alcalá, a shore of rounded stones and gravel 50 metres long and 15 metres wide. Its urban character and calm waters link it closely to the inhabited centre, although the coastal waterfront is semi-urban. It is included in an area of Natural Habitats of Community interest and has moderate visitor numbers. Access on foot is easy, with parking and an interurban bus service; the listing records no facilities for bathers.
