Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Caosa is an urban white-sand beach in the centre of San Ciprián, with a seafront promenade and a direct relationship with the built frontage. Its 120 metres of length and 20 metres of width form a compact space with low occupancy and moderate waves. The sand, urban frontage and smaller scale give it a character distinct from the larger beach of O Torno. Access is easy on foot via the LU-142, with fewer than 50 parking spaces, an interurban bus stop 0.5 kilometres away, toilets, showers and catering.
