- Length Length: 25 m.
- Type of beach Type of beach: White sand and skittles
- Access Access: On foot
Small cove of golden sand and boulders in a narrow canyon in a natural setting.
A spectacular elongated saltwater canyon.
Villanueva is striking for the narrow, elongated channel through which the seawater reaches the white sand and the beach boulders. It is a spectacular canyon that fits the sandy beach into the landscape and has been widely photographed.
This channel protects the bathing area as the strong waves are greatly reduced. At the outer limit of the canyon, where it connects with the sea, there is a sinkhole effect that makes bathing dangerous. The beach is in a natural environment and lacks services.
Access to the beach can be made by car from Villanueva, but the final stretch has to be done on foot.
Ordinance for pets on the beach:
- The access and presence of pets on the beach is prohibited from 01/06 to 30/09.
- In the case of abandoned animals wandering on the beaches, their owners will be responsible for them.
- Those who violate the prohibitions, or do not comply with the conditions set out above, must immediately leave the beach with the animal, at the verbal request of the Authority Agents or Rescue personnel, who will issue a report in order to investigate the appropriate disciplinary proceedings.
