Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de O Picón lies at the foot of a cliff and is notable for the steep drop requiring descent by stairs. Its 500-metre length combines golden sand and rock along a stretch exposed to strong waves and wind, within an area protected as a Site of Community Importance (SCI). At high tide it has little surface area, according to the listing. Parking and a viewpoint are located at the top of the cliff; the stated access is on foot.
