Playa de Castello, Protected beach in El Franco, Spain.

The 400-meter beach features golden sand, clear water, and natural rock formations along the surrounding cliffs, creating a natural coastal environment.

The preservation of Playa de Castello's ecosystem led to its designation as a Special Protection Area and Site of Community Importance in recent decades.

Local residents maintain traditional maritime activities at the beach, which serves as a gathering point for regional summer celebrations.

The beach provides parking facilities, emergency services during summer months, and convenient access through paved roads from neighboring A Caridá.

The beach's quartzite gravel composition, combined with predominant slate and quartz elements, creates distinct geological formations along the shore.
