Andalusia, Spain

Playa del Guadalquitón

Playa del Guadalquitón is a vast, natural beach located between the Alcaidesa lighthouse and Sotogrande. Stretching over five kilometers, it offers an expansive sandy landscape with very few people around, making it an excellent choice for those seeking tranquility and space. The beach is accessible from the lighthouse via dirt roads.

The beach's natural characteristics include a rocky bottom and cold water, which visitors should be aware of. It's also worth noting that the beach is a military zone, with no civil buildings from the sea to the highway, only some hidden military construction and old bunkers from the old “wall” of the strait.

Despite its natural beauty, Playa del Guadalquitón lacks amenities. There are no services, beach bars, or private developments. The cleanliness of the beach can vary, depending on who has visited before, but it is generally found to be clean.

The beach is less crowded during the week, but it can get busy on summer weekends. Therefore, it is advisable to visit when there is little wind and during off-peak times.
