Sandy beach · Arnela, Spain

Praia de Arnela Vella

A sandy beach in Arnela, Spain. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the north-north-east, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. The bottom drops away quickly: about 4.6 m of water only 50 m from the shore. Further out it reaches roughly 4.8 m at 400 m. Bathing water has been rated Excellent in each of the last 4 seasons. The surroundings are wooded (trees around 15 m tall), so there is natural shade to find in the afternoon. Tides matter here: the range is about 3.2 m.
