La Cachucha beach

La Cachucha is a sandy beach on the Bay of Cadiz with fine, pale sand protected by two breakwater structures at its edges. The shoreline stretches several hundred meters and allows easy entry into the water along most of its length.

The beach was protected through the construction of breakwaters in recent decades to prevent tidal erosion along the bay. This engineering work allowed the area to maintain its role as a local destination.

The beach serves as a gathering place where local fishermen practice traditional craft during low tide, maintaining customs that connect them to the Bay of Cadiz.

A waterfront promenade provides easy access across the beach, with showers, changing facilities, toilets, and drinking water available throughout. Plan your visit around tidal times, as the mudflats are most visible during low tide.

At low tide, mudflats emerge across the beach, creating feeding zones for crabs and numerous bird species that otherwise remain hidden. This tidal shift completely transforms the landscape.
