Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Inglés is distinguished by its location at the foot of a cliff and its dark sand, on an isolated coast 400 metres long and 40 metres wide. The surface combines sand and rock, while vegetation and the protected surroundings—ZEPA, Rural Park and Biosphere Reserve—reinforce its natural character. It has moderate swell and medium occupancy, with access on foot or by car. Parking and signage facilitate arrival, while the only basic services available after bathing are litter bins and cleaning.
