Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Piedras Gordas, also called Los Corrales, combines a wild appearance with a highly varied coastal landscape: from the golden sand there are views of Sistema Dunar de Rota, the protected coastal pine woods and the area's fishing corrals in the intertidal zone. It is an isolated beach 1,000 metres long and 35 metres wide, with a semi-urban frontage, vegetation, moderate swell and low visitor numbers. Access is easy on foot, with parking for more than 100 vehicles and an urban bus service beside avenida de la Constitución. There are showers, cleaning services, food facilities and nautical equipment hire.
