Where to leave the car
Large free car parks along the length; fill by 12 pm in August but there are always further-out options.
Eight kilometres of empty golden sand
One of Spain's longest and most-awarded beaches, and the anchor of the Costa de la Luz. Backed by pine forest and low dunes; big enough that even in August you find your own patch. Perfect low-tide walk to the Torre del Puerco.
