What it is like
Playa Santa Catalina is located at the start of Monte Hacho, in an isolated setting of mountainous coast. Its surface, made up of dark-coloured rounded stones and gravel, reaches 150 metres in length and 25 metres in width, with low occupancy and moderate waves. The stated access is on foot, with parking for fewer than 50 spaces and an urban bus connection. The proximity of the Ceuta marina provides a clear nautical reference for the area.
