About Playa Cabeza de Toro

Playa Cabeza de Toro is a beach about 1.2 km long, 7.1 km from Bávaro (Bávaro and Arena Gorda). It faces northeast: wind from the southwest blows off the land here and flattens the water, while wind and swell from the northeast roll straight in. OpenStreetMap shows 5 hotels or apartments within 600 m, toilets and parking nearby.
