Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Peñón Cortado is a secluded cove just 25 metres long and 12 metres wide, formed by dark gravel and enclosed in a mountainous setting. Its low occupancy and moderate swell accompany a shoreline noted in the listing for difficult access and the presence of reefs, abrasion platforms, cliffs and areas of natural shade. The indicated access combines walking and driving from the AL-7107, with an interurban bus service. Villaricos Marina is given as the nautical reference.
