Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de las Arenas, also known as Punta Gongora, extends below the cliffs of the Andén Verde, between Punta de La Aldea and Playa del Risco. Its 975-metre length and 20-metre width form an isolated strip of golden sand, rounded stones and rock, facing a mountainous landscape within the Parque Natural de Tamadaba. Occupancy is low and access on foot is difficult; the GC-200 is the reference road. The listing also records nudist use.
