Guide

Good to know

Expect very cold water year-round
Reviewers consistently describe the Atlantic water as cold, even in warmer months.
Time your visit for sunset or coastal walks
Reviewers recommend this as a quick stop during a seaside hike or for evening views rather.
Visit for Tower of Hercules views
The beach sits directly below the lighthouse, offering spectacular vistas that multiple visitors identified as a primary draw.
Watch your footing on steep access
The path down is steep and slippery, and at least one visitor fell twice while accessing the beach.
Plan for limited space and crowds
The beach measures only 70 by 30 meters, and visitors report it gets crowded despite its small size.
