Let's find out some of the best or most popular beaches in Huelva:

Isla Canela and Punta del Moral

With a length of 7 kms, these beaches of fine sand, belonging to the town of Ayamonte, boast a tourist complex complete with everything necessary to enjoy an unforgettable holiday. The golf, tennis and water sports facilities are only a small example. (Map)

La Antilla

A tranquil and very long beach, 22 kms long, belonging to the neighbouring town of Lepe, famous for its fruits (figs, strawberries, melons, watermelons, oranges, etc.). This town has a delightful parish church dedicated to Santo Domingo de Guzmán (15th century Mudéjar). Next to the beach, a huge tourist complex has recently been opened, equipped with 4-star hotel, golf course, tennis courts, swimming pools and a whole range of cultural and sports activities to satisfy even the most demanding tastes. Nearby is the sea port of El Terrón, where fresh seafood and fried fish can be savoured. (Map)

El Rompido

A small fishing village situated at the mouth of the river Piedras, dependent on the town of Cartaya, which has a population of 10,000 and contains the ruins of a Roman castle, the convent of Las Mercedes (18th century) and the church of San Pedro. El Rompido boasts a magnificent beach, 10 kms long, which runs parallel to a strip of sand dunes, and separated from it by a 300 metre-wide length of sea water. From its pine groves, without doubt the best view of the whole coast of Huelva can be enjoyed. (Map)

Punta Umbría

Punta Umbría is reached by crossing pine groves and dunes which separate it on one side from the sea, and on the other from the Odiel Salt Marshes Nature Reserve. Principally a fishing village, it has been transformed by a large increase in tourism. This has contributed not only to the installation of a wide range of services along its extensive beach, but also to the opportunity to practice water sports at its sailing harbour. (Map)

Matalascañas

This is the largest tourist resort in Huelva's Costa de la Luz. Hotels, restaurants, discotheques, and many other services spread out along 5 kms to satisfy the demands of this huge complex. It is in a privileged position, surrounded by the Doñana National Park. This makes it an ideal spot for nature lovers and those in search of rest and relaxation. The more adventurous are guaranteed facilities for numerous aquatic and terrestrial sports. (Map)

Huelva Coastal Cities

Huelva offers immense beaches scattered with shells and with nothing but water, dunes, and pine groves in sight. However, there are also places on the coast with a lively atmosphere catering to the young. Quality tourism is represented by an abundance of good hotels and golf courses. Punta Umbría enjoys a mild, slightly humid microclimate and has long beaches fringed with pine trees or junipers. In the direction of Cartaya, the traveller passes through Laguna del Portil, El Rompido, and Ría del Piedras. This is a quiet stretch of coast with family beaches and the opportunity to practise all manner of water sports. Further still, nearing Portugal now, are Lepe, Isla Cristina, and Ayamonte. Lepe is as acclaimed for its strawberries as Isla Cristina is for its fishing. Ayamonte is reflected in the River Guadiana, which separated it from Portugal in the past but now joins the two. It is the biggest town on the coastline and near to paradisiacal Isla Canela. To the east of Huelva, the coastline consists of totally unspoilt nature. Mazagón has a magnificent marina and clean, golden beaches. Then comes the popular resort of Matalascañas and the coastline of Doñana Park. Inland is El Condado, a district of good wine, villages, and resplendent urban design, such as Bollullos, Almonte, and La Palma, and the pilgrimage festival which attracts the largest crowds in Spain, El Rocío, in the now universal marshland village. On the outskirts of El Condado is a completely walled town called Niebla, the best-preserved Almohade site in Spain.
