Playa de Munielles

Playa de Munielles is a beach in Bayas featuring dark sand and pebbles arranged in a shell-shaped cove bordered by the La Furada rock formation. The shoreline has natural caves and crevices carved into the rocks, creating a distinctive geological landscape.

The beach formed through long-term erosion of rock by sea and waves, maintaining its natural character across centuries. Local communities have used this spot for fishing since ancient times, showing its importance to coastal life.

The name Munielles comes from an old local word referring to the rock formations that shape the cove. The area draws birdwatchers because migratory species regularly rest and nest here.

Visit during low tide if you want to explore the nearby coves El Reguero and Cala Cordial, as ramps become accessible then. Wear sturdy footwear because the rock surfaces can be slippery and uneven.

The underwater rock contours create unusual wave patterns in this area that sport fishers use to their advantage. This characteristic has made the location a reliable reference point for those pursuing game fish in the region.
