What you didn't know about the best beaches in Cádiz

The province of Cádiz is home to some of the most spectacular beaches in southern Spain, all with sandy shores—from the most tranquil and unspoilt to the most lively and bustling—known for their fine, golden sand and crystal-clear waters. In this article, we tell you about the most impressive ones and how to make the most of them while staying at the Vincci Costa Golf 4* Hotel and enjoying its charming beachfront beach bar.

Bolonia Beach

Probably the best-known in Cádiz and considered one of the natural paradises of the Costa de la Luz. Bolonia Beach stretches for more than 3 kilometres, in the municipality of Tarifa. Its unspoilt setting, located on the edge of the Strait Natural Park, and the beauty of its landscapes make it one of the favourite destinations for sea lovers.

Ruins of Baelo Claudia

Just a few metres from the beach are the ruins of Baelo Claudia, an ancient Roman city that flourished between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. This archaeological site stands out for its tuna salting factory, whose economic importance contributed to the development of the region. Among the most notable structures you will find the forum, the temple, and the remains of the industrial facilities.

The Great Dune of Bolonia and its ecosystem

One of Bolonia Beach’s greatest attractions is its large dune of more than 30 metres in height. This dune acts as a filter for sandstorms, protecting local biodiversity, allowing a unique ecosystem to flourish.

The native vegetation, which includes species such as pine, juniper, and various herbaceous plants, creates an ideal habitat for different birds and animals. Birdwatching is one of the most valued activities in the area, as many species use this environment as a resting and feeding place during their migrations.

Zahara de los Atunes Beach

Located on the coast of the province of Cádiz, Zahara de los Atunes stands out for its relaxing atmosphere. It is known for its long stretch of fine white sand, which contrasts with the deep blue of its waters. Its landscape is framed by hills and native vegetation, offering panoramic views that dazzle at any time of day. It’s common to see families, couples, and groups of friends enjoying unforgettable moments under the sun.

Fishing tradition and gastronomy in Zahara

Zahara de los Atunes preserves a deep seafaring tradition, reflected in local culture and its gastronomy. The fishing technique known as almadraba, historically used to catch tuna, gives rise to one of the tastiest dishes in the region: griddled almadraba bluefin tuna.

Available water sports

The weather conditions, together with calm waters, are perfect for beginners and experts in sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving.

Los Lances Beach

Located in Tarifa, Los Lances Beach is a true paradise for water sports enthusiasts.

Strait Natural Park

It is part of the Strait Natural Park, an exceptional protected area that extends along the coast. This park is famous for its panoramic views of the Strait of Gibraltar and its rich biodiversity. The confluence of the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea creates a unique ecosystem, where you can observe various species of migratory birds and abundant marine life. Walking along its natural trails will let you enjoy the beauty of the surroundings and appreciate the native flora.

Ideal for windsurfing and kitesurfing

The constant winds that blow on this beach make it an emblematic spot for windsurfing and kitesurfing. You’ll find a wide variety of water sports schools offering lessons and equipment rental, making it easy for anyone interested to take part in these experiences.

La Barrosa Beach

With its vast sandy stretch, La Barrosa stands out as one of the most popular destinations on the Cádiz coast. Its appeal lies in the combination of stunning landscapes with a family-friendly atmosphere perfect for a full day out.

Activities for children at La Barrosa

La Barrosa Beach offers numerous activities designed for the little ones:

- Entertainment activities: during the high season, workshops and games are organised by activity leaders, providing extra entertainment for the youngest visitors.

All these factors make La Barrosa an exceptional place for families looking to enjoy the beach with peace of mind.

Spectacular sunsets south of Chiclana

Sunsets at La Barrosa are a must-see. As the sun dips below the horizon, the beach transforms into a stage of vibrant colours unfolding across the sky—from orange to purple—offering an unforgettable visual experience.
