Characteristics published by official sources

Playa A Concha - Ortigueira is a fine-sand beach measuring 105 metres in length, with an open character as its most defined environmental feature. Its contained size distinguishes it from longer shores and makes it recognisable through a simple combination: fine sand, small scale and the exposure typical of an open beach. The description does not specify width, development, services or access, so these aspects do not form part of the description. It is in Ortigueira, A Coruña.
