El Cañuelo

the Camarinal lighthouse

Average length: 470 m
Swimming conditions: moderate waters

Surrounded by an extensive pine forest, it has no accesses open and a few minutes’ walk from the access road to the Camarinal lighthouse, is the Playa de El Cañuelo beach. So-called because of the stream that flows into its banks during the rainy season. Small and intimate, it is the perfect beach for users who want to get away from city life and enjoy the sound of the breaking waves.

Besides the main cove, there are other coves to the south, which are smaller and more complex. At these coves, the narrow strip of sand may be completely flooded during high tide, so caution is advised.
