The best beaches in Andalusia

The Andalusian coastline is completely full of unspoilt beaches, marshes and cliffs. In total, it has more than 800 kilometres of coastline, as well as other natural spaces.

Andalusia has different types of beaches. The entire coastline of Huelva and Cádiz that meets the Atlantic Ocean, known as Costa de la Luz, has fine golden sand and strong waves. Those that are in contact with the Mediterranean Sea, that is, from the Strait of Gibraltar to the province of Almeria, which includes Costa del Sol, Costa Tropical and finally, Costa de Almeria, have warmer waters and strong winds.

The climate and the bright sunshine, as well as the soft sand and stunning coastline of each of its beaches, make Andalusia a total holiday paradise.
