Costa de la Luz beach breaks
The most stunning beaches on the Costa de la Luz

Located in the lovely town of Tarifa, Playa de Bolonia comprises one of the most beautiful beaches in Cadiz. An authentic natural paradise, it is characterised by a huge sand dune that gets bigger every year engulfing everything in its path.

Measuring around 5km long, Playa de Zahara de los Atunes is fully-equipped with first-aid posts, bars, public showers, toliets and a few rental kiosks. Don't forget to try some of the delicious dishes served in the restaurants of this charming fishing village.

Well-equipped and very pleasant, this fine golden-sand beach can get very busy over the summer months. Playa de la Muralla is also famous for being home to the ruins of the Castillo de Santa Catalina (Fortress of Santa Catalina).

Conveniently sheltered from the wind, this beautiful beach features fine, golden sand and crystal clear waters, perfect if you seek a quiet spot to soak up the sun or practise a spot of diving. Sun-seekers need to take care when walking down the fairly steep stone staricase leading to the beach however, it's well worth a visit.

Playa de Valdevaqueros is well known for being home to an immense dune dotted with pines and its laid-back atmosphere. In addition, it extends over 4km meaning that there's plenty of room to park your towel. Finally, it comprises quite a breezy beach making it perfect to practise windsurfing and other watersports in Tarifa.

If you're looking for a beach with a laid-back atmosphere and unspoilt surroundings then El Palmar in Vejer is the beach for you. Comprising a large stretch of sandy, wind-swept beach, it's fast becoming the surf capital of Andalusia.
