To reach the beach, drive to Téifaros and cross a large pine forest where the car must be left; from there a path heads northeast, first overlooking Frejulfe beach. The walk is about 500 m, and the final descent is somewhat difficult, so take care. The beach has no services; recreational rod fishing or spearfishing are the usual activities.
The beach has a fossil cliff about 100 metres long, a detail most visitors walk past without noticing. The sand is tan-coloured and medium-grained, and the cove is framed by cliffs at both ends.
