Molino de Papel Beach

Playa del Molino de Papel is situated in the Maro area, surrounded by cliffs, vegetation and remains linked to the activity that gave the place its name. Its open, sparsely developed landscape conveys a strong sense of isolation and direct contact with nature.

The Playa del Molino de Papel is situated in the Maro area, surrounded by cliffs, vegetation and remains linked to the activity that gave the place its name. Its open, sparsely developed landscape conveys a strong sense of isolation and direct contact with nature.

The shoreline is mainly made up of gravel, pebbles and stones, while the seabed combines rocky areas and spaces suitable for swimming when the sea is in good condition. The absence of major tourist development allows this part of the coastline to be seen in a much more natural state.

It is a beach recommended for those who value getting away from it all, landscape photography and places with their own personality. It does not offer the same convenience as urban beaches, so it is advisable to come prepared and to be especially respectful of an environment of great scenic and environmental interest.
