Beautiful beach a few kilometers from Ponteceso. It can be reached on foot in about forty minutes but it's worth it. It has no services but is ideal for relaxing in some sun.

natural paradise Great beach, very clean and very pretty with not so cold waters Access is through a mountain road from Balares of about 2 km That's why it's so clean, empty and full of shells, clams and more.

The dunes are very beautiful with white and quite loose sand, there is a large area to walk. It is part of the lighthouse route. There is a bird observatory. Place to park. And it's pretty quiet.

Ideal to disconnect! A very quiet place. Nature in its purest form. There are no guards. And be careful when going if you use Google Maps! It doesn't take you to the right place! I hope it doesn't take long to update! I ended up at a viewpoint from which you can see the beach.
