Cádiz beaches essential to visit
Trafalgar Lighthouse Beach:
Beach located in Caños de Meca within the Cabo de Trafalgar Natural Park. A natural and wild landscape presided over by its lighthouse.
A spectacular beach awaits you to enjoy walks on its fine sand, but you must exercise great caution while bathing due to its strong currents.
Playa de los Alemanes Beach:
Located in Tarifa, very close to Zahara de los Atunes, we find Los Alemanes beach.
This Cádiz beach is approximately 1,500 meters long and 50 meters wide and is dominated by a lighthouse in the background.
Its name comes from World War II, when the Germans used this anchorage to monitor and supply the ships that circulated through the strait.
A paradise of fine sand and crystal clear water that we invite you to discover.
Bolonia beach:
The most famous beach in Cádiz and considered one of the last virgin beaches in southern Spain.
