Guide

Good to know

Ideal for long walks and families
The beach stretches for miles with shallow, warm water and fine sand, popular with families and those seeking solitude.
Arrive early for parking
The lot fills quickly, especially in summer when an orange zone charges fees from mid-June to mid-September.
Avoid weekends in summer
Weekdays are spacious and peaceful, but Saturday and Sunday from July to September draw large crowds from Madrid and Seville.
Check tide times before swimming
High tide shrinks the beach to a third of its morning width, and rocks become slippery in morning water.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
