The beach stretches on the sunny coast, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"This beach near Burela is a great spot for families, with its clean sand and entertaining atmosphere. Kids will love playing soccer in the designated area, and parents will appreciate the easy access and working showers. Plus, the beach is conveniently located near plenty of restaurants and bars."

Mara Paloma Vega

"This beach is located in the middle of town, and it's a great spot to visit. The facilities were very nice, and the water was clean with pleasant waves. After leaving the beach, there are two bars nearby. We recommend the Kiko brewery for its excellent service. The other bar is not quite up to the same standard."
