Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa de Sonabia, also known as Valdearenas, is a small, isolated beach 150 metres long and 120 metres wide, surrounded by a mountainous frontage. Fine golden sand accompanies medium occupancy and moderate swell, with vegetation and environmental protection within the PORN de Montaña Oriental area. Access is on foot from the CN-634, with fewer than 50 parking spaces. The listing also notes the possibility of nudism. No beach facilities are detailed, so its natural character and pedestrian access are its main practical features.
