Costa de la Luz
Spain Beaches - Costa de la Luz - Overview:
On the Costa de la Luz you can laze on some of the biggest sandy beaches in Europe. They are long, with fine golden sand and usually backed by sand dunes and pine forests. This largely unspoilt area of Andalucia is relatively undiscovered and has been one of the best kept secrets of holidaymakers from Seville and Huelva. However it is becoming popular with tourists from other parts of Spain and some international holidaymakers seeking a relaxing Spanish beach holiday.
The coastline is dotted with small fishing villages and during July and August the main resort beaches are quite busy. However, during the rest of the year, this coastline is uncrowded and even in summer, it is possible to find a relatively peaceful place on the beach.
The Costa de la Luz can be very windy at times but this is a great attraction for windsurfers and surfers.
