What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa Las Caletillas is a small urban beach of dark sand and gravel, barely 60 metres long and 17 metres wide. Its sheltered character combines with a highly urbanised setting and a seafront promenade running alongside the shore. The usual swell is moderate, while restaurants, showers and the tourist office complete the range of services. It is easily reached on foot or by car, with an interurban bus connection and parking indicated in the entry.
