Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Portio is a small, semi-urban beach protected by large rocks around it, some of which protrude from the water. Its 150 metres in length and 40 metres in width offer golden sand, vegetation, moderate swell and low occupancy, within the protected area of the Dunas de Liencres and the Pas estuary. Access by car via the CA-231 is listed as possible, with an interurban bus service, although no number of parking spaces is detailed. The listing records only a cleaning service, consistent with its simple character.
