Playa Carchuna
18730 Carchuna GR

It is a 4 km long (3 miles) beach that extends from the Sacratif Cape to a small leaning tower locally known as “El Farillo”.
A sandy beach with deep, crystal clear water, and a varied marine life population which makes it the ideal place for fishing enthusiasts.
Wave conditions also make this beach a paradise for practising board sports and sailing such as surfing or windsurfing.
With easy access from the N-340 road, this beach is situated in a quiet residential area with a hotel and a beachside campsite.
The beach is frequently crowded during the summer mornings and it is the perfect place for afternoon strolls along the coast while gazing at a stunning sunset set against Sacratif lighthouse.
There, you will find a seaside castle that served as a military fortress to protect the coast from pirate attacks.
