Characteristics published by official sources

Playa La Almadraba is a small urban beach in the area of the same name, beside Miramar beach. Its 100 metres of length and 15 metres of width combine dark sand and gravel, with moderate waves and a seafront promenade. The urban coastal frontage and low occupancy contrast with the proximity of other beaches in the sector, especially Miramar. It is easily accessed on foot or by car from the N-352, with an urban bus connection. Facilities are basic and focused on cleaning, while the marina of Ceuta is linked to the nautical surroundings.
