Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa El Pris is an urban coastal strip of dark sand formed by pebbles and gravel, whose dimensions are small relative to its 170-metre length and 15-metre width. Strong swell affects bathing and explains the low visitor numbers, despite its seafront promenade and integration into surroundings designated as a Natural Habitat of Community Interest. It is easily reached on foot or by car from the TF-165, with signage and parking for fewer than 50 vehicles. Practical facilities include showers, a food service and an anchorage area.
