Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa Puerto Rey forms an especially wide urban sandy beach, 1,320 metres long and 150 metres wide. Dark sand extends beside a vegetated area and the mouth of the Antas River, where the listing notes the formation of a small lagoon used by birds. The seafront promenade and the extensive provision of services, including a beach club and nautical activities, define its busy character. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the AL-7107, with between 50 and 100 parking spaces and an interurban bus.
