Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Chica is set at the foot of a mountain as a semi-urban beach of fine dark sand, measuring 100 metres in length and 35 metres in width. The vegetation and its inclusion in a Biosphere Reserve provide a natural setting for a shore of medium occupancy and moderate swell. The stated access is by car from the TF-121, with parking for fewer than 50 vehicles. The entry records no specific beach services, although it does identify Puerto Deportivo Marina Santa Cruz as a nautical reference.
