Bring children to the play area

Visit in morning for cleanliness
Beach cleaning machines run early, but afternoon litter accumulates significantly.

The beach has small pebbles rather than sand, making entry uncomfortable without footwear.
Expect deep water near shore
The seabed drops quickly, so even close to shore you may lose footing.

How far is the walk to the water at Playa de San Nicolás?
40 m in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Playa de San Nicolás have restrooms?

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
