Sandy beach · El Cañillo, Spain

Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is a sandy beach in El Cañillo, Spain. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the south-south-west, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there.

The nearest other beach is Playa de Zahara in Zahara de los Atunes, 5.0 km away.
