Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa El Bollullo is reached by walking along a path from the nearby car park and lies isolated beneath a cliff, in a protected setting with vegetation. Its 200 metres of dark sand and width of 40 metres form a coast with strong waves, so the entry recommends caution while bathing; visitor numbers are medium. Access combines driving and a walk, with fewer than 50 parking spaces and an interurban bus service. Toilets, food services, sun-lounger and parasol hire, and cleaning complete the practical facilities.
