With some of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa de la Luz, the beaches of Barbate consist of Zahora and Caños de Meca, among others. The beaches are flat and the waves are gentle, so visitors can have a very pleasant swim. The beaches are also very secluded, making them a perfect location for private vacations.
Facilities are available mostly during the summer months and include showers, toilets, changing rooms, lifeguards, Red Cross posts, and a selection of beach bars and restaurants. Nearby, visitors can take a break, snack on a picnic lunch, or explore the trails at La Breña Natural Park. During the summer, there are many festivals held on the beach, including Verbena de San Juan, when people gather at the beach to burn images of politicians and celebrities.
