What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa Arnela forms part of an isolated coastal stretch between As Fontiñas and Arnela A Vella, with rocks and little sand. The beach is 130 metres long and barely 28 metres wide, combining white sand and rock and lying enclosed before a mountain frontage. Its waters are calm, although at high tide the available surface is practically non-existent. Access on foot is easy, and the road from Mera to Sada is nearby.
