Characteristics published by official sources

Playa El Estacio is a long Mediterranean beach with a family-oriented atmosphere and an urban profile. Its 2,000 metres of length contrast with a width of only 10 metres, on golden sand with moderate waves. The seafront promenade and sports centre in the adjacent area complete a semi-urban setting with low occupancy. Access is easy on foot or by car via Gran Vía MU-312, with fewer than 50 parking spaces, an urban bus service, foot showers and adapted access.
