Beach overall scores
Playa San Bruno (Huelva) region (Costa de la Luz sub-region) is located outside the Isla Canela settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa San Bruno with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This place was anything but lovely. It was a desolate stretch of sand, completely void of life. Not a soul in sight. Nothing to do here but stare at the sand. Not a great way to spend a day."
Maryam Kowalczyk
"Playa San Bruno is a great spot for watersports such as kite surfing, and the sunsets over the Portuguese coast are truly breathtaking. It is linked to Playa Isla Cabela's, making it an ideal destination for those who want to make the most of their time near the sea."

What to do in Playa San Bruno? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?
The deeper you dive, the more interesting the surrounding scenery - that's how you can characterize Playa San Bruno, but that doesn't mean that landscapes are uninteresting and it's better to spend all your time underwater. The fact is that one of the key activities on the beach is diving. Here you can scuba dive not only as a professional, but also a beginner, as there are several companies along the coast engaged in diving and diver training. Take advantage.
Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Playa San Bruno welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.
