Beaches

Probably the best one is Santa Catalina beach. Three km of sandy yellow beach.It has parking, showers and public toilets. Also Playa de Valdegrana is an extremely good beach but the constructions around it are also extremely big. There are many others much smaller ones in El Pueto. Such as playa de la Puntilla, playa de La Muralla, and playa de Fuentebravía
