Beach at a glance

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa Ardeleiro, together with Simprón, forms a group of virgin beaches that are completely isolated and deserted. Its 110 metres of white sand and rock, with a width of 15 metres, open onto a mountainous frontage covered with vegetation and protected by the Natura 2000 Network. Low occupancy coexists with usual conditions of strong surf and wind, features that define its exposure. It is easily reached on foot from the C-550, with an interurban bus connection; the details indicate no specific beach facilities.
