Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Somocuevas is an isolated beach sheltered by a rocky headland, alongside another small sandy beach called Somocuevas oriental; together they form an isthmus. Golden sand occupies 100 metres in length and 27 metres in width, with cliffs, moderate swell and low visitor numbers. It is a protected area where nudism is permitted. Access on foot is easy from the CA-231, with fewer than 50 parking spaces; the listing also records cleaning and lifeguarding.
