Sandy beach · Prado, Spain

Ariña Branca

A sandy beach in Prado, Spain. It is fairly sheltered, with open water only toward the south-west, so waves pick up when the wind blows from there. The nearest chart sounding shows about 15.6 m of water 100 m offshore. Further out it reaches roughly 16.4 m at 400 m. Bathing water has been rated Excellent in each of the last 4 seasons. The surroundings are wooded (trees around 14 m tall), so there is natural shade to find in the afternoon. Tides matter here: the range is about 3.0 m.
