Guide
Good to know
Plan a dune walk for photography
Spectacular sand dunes frame the beach and offer views of the Strait of Gibraltar and Morocco beyond.
Visit before mid-August for solitude
The beach fills significantly in peak summer, with one reviewer noting August crowds rival a major town fair.
Expect strong winds and rocky entry
Underwater rocks line the shore and constant Atlantic winds are typical, making swimming difficult and water sports hazardous.
Deactivate phone roaming before arrival
Your phone will connect to the Moroccan network across the strait, resulting in surprise roaming charges of around 40 euros.
