Beach · El Barco, Spain

Playa del Pichel

A beach in El Barco, Spain. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the north, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. It deepens at a steady pace, reaching about 3.2 m some 50 m from the shore. Further out it reaches roughly 2.2 m at 400 m. There are some trees around the beach (trees around 11 m tall), enough for patches of shade. Tides matter here: the range is about 3.4 m.
