NAME: Cala
Insua  DIRECTIONS: 1.5 km, north of Perbes on the L-154 road, turn left and head towards the sea, or 1 km. south of the town of Boebre (Parga), 2nd right, drive for 800 meters where at end of lane one finds a small parking area Note: Cala Insua is not to be confused with a beach of similar name (Playa Insua) just south of the Betanzos Ria (fiord). COMMENTS: This small cove is found by exploring
the bushes around the parking area and finding small path
slightly overgrown with vegetation. Small steep steps
lead one down to beach. The predominant surface material
is of medium golden sand with some gravel & rocks.
The beach is approx. 40 m. in length by 5 m. average
width. Sea conditions are calm, it is sheltered from wind
on all but the most windy days. Out in the fiord it is
common to see wind surfers, as the Ria de Betanzos,
offers some protection from the open sea. Water
conditions are good, no major pollution. It is also
warmer than by ocean facing beaches by as much as 5°c.
High Naturist population, This beach has enjoyed many new
visitors since we first listed it back in 1996. |
