What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa de Ribada, also known as Centeas, lies against a steep wall that explains its isolated character and difficult access. It is a beach of white sand, 130 metres long and 15 metres wide, open in front of a cliff and surrounded by vegetation. The listing notes that descents to the sandy beaches have recently been built, although access remains on foot and difficult. The AC-042 is the road reference, with an interurban bus connection. Club Náutico Ría de Ares is listed as a nearby nautical facility.
