Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Santa Catalina is a broad beach of rounded stones and gravel, 1,000 metres long and 35 metres wide, opening onto a semi-urban frontage. Strong waves, medium occupancy and the vegetated surroundings, protected as a natural habitat of Community interest and Biosphere Reserve, define its character. Access is easy on foot or by car, with signs, parking for fewer than 50 vehicles and an interurban connection. The entry records showers, bins and a cleaning service.
