Characteristics and Type of Beach
The formation of the La Contralta Cove is characterized by the dense vegetation behind it, located in a relatively inaccessible area, it reminds us of an unspoiled small cove, with its size and shallow water, it is suitable for families with children.
With a length of 60 meters and an average width of approximately 4 meters, it has a surface area of 240 square meters and can accommodate a maximum of 30 people comfortably.
The Sand
The Beach is composed of Coarse sand sand of Yellow sand color, with vegetation behind it, mainly characterized by Mediterranean scrub.
The Sea
The sea has a Green color, with a mixed seabed of sand and rocks.
The bathymetric lines are far apart, so the depth gradually decreases, classifying it as a beach with shallow water.
Restrictions and Protection
The La Contralta Cove is open access, without a specific limit defined by law. The maximum capacity of 30 people is purely indicative and is determined using the guidelines of beach resorts, assuming approximately 8 square meters per person, taking into account beach chairs or towels, umbrellas, and a perimeter passage area.
