Cala del Faro is a secluded beach located in Cádiz, known for its natural beauty and tranquility. The beach is characterized by its sheltered position, which protects it from the wind, and its cold and wild water. It is particularly popular for watching the sunset and is less congested due to its difficult access.
The beach is accessed via a staircase, which at first glance appears to be ruined. However, upon closer inspection, a simple and easy path is revealed. Despite the initial impression, the staircase is the only way to reach the beach, making it a hidden gem for those who discover it.
Due to its secluded nature, the beach can become quite crowded during high tide hours, leaving little room for beachgoers.

The beach also offers a beautiful cove that can be viewed from a cliff above, adding to its charm and appeal.
