Beautiful inlet of quartzite gravels
Slate and quartz for a beach carved between capes
Castelo beach, in El Franco, is one of the inlets carved out of the series of headlands that form the profile of the council. Shell-shaped, it is made up of quartzite gravels, where the dominant materials are slate and quartz.
With strong waves, it is a narrow strip of 400 metres long with pedestrian and road access and a rest area with car park in the immediate vicinity. It is the largest beach in the council and has a lifeguard and rescue service during the summer season.
It is located in the town of Castello.
