Beach character
Pseca Plaza Silo is a compact cove measuring 60 meters by 10 meters, with a surface dominated by small beige pebbles. The sea floor follows a smooth gradient, ideal for children and non-swimmers. Its shallow, gradual depth increase ensures safety for all ages, though the lack of shade means visitors should prepare for sun exposure. The beach is explicitly marked as pet-friendly, with dedicated areas and waste bins for dog owners, though reviewers note that the space can become crowded during peak season.Swimming and shore
The beach’s gentle slope into the sea makes it accessible for swimmers of all abilities. Water clarity is generally good, supporting the 'water entertainment' activities listed in the catalog, though specifics like snorkeling or water sports are not detailed. The pebbled shore provides a stable surface for walking, but the absence of umbrellas or shade structures means sun protection is essential. Visitors should note that the beach’s small size can lead to congestion, particularly during summer months.Facilities and activities

Nice beach but really small and therefore full of dogs and their owners. A bit messy place missing toilet and more trash bins. Owners could clean up after their pets more carefully. No trees=no shadow, so please be prepared and have an extra supply of water. Parking place free of charge is located nearby. Wonderful view!
