Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa La Alzada is a long, isolated beach of golden sand facing a dune landscape. Its length of 840 metres, although it is only 30 metres wide, accounts for an extended beach with low occupancy, incorporated into a Natural Park. The surroundings permit nudism and are usually windy, with moderate waves. Access is on foot, with the FV-1 as the road reference; urban bus routes 6 and 7 serve the area, which has litter bins and cleaning.
