Characteristics published by official sources

Playa Insua, also called Carboeira, is a small isolated beach of golden sand in a mountainous setting with vegetation. Its 25-metre length and 20-metre width form a small area with calm waters and high occupancy, in a sheltered configuration facing the more open coast. The description also indicates its nudist character, a relevant aspect for understanding the stated use of the place. Access combines car travel with an easy section on foot, and an interurban bus service is 5 kilometres away.
