Its recognisable feature is an intermediate scale and homogeneous composition, summarised by a sandy stretch whose relationship with the sea is defined as an open beach. The short public name distinguishes the place without adding unnecessary territorial references. Based on the available data, the description focuses on its size, texture and exposure, as no other landscape, access or facility details are recorded.
