Playa de Los Lances, Atlantic beach in Tarifa, Spain
The beach stretches 7,250 meters from Punta de la Peña to Punta de Tarifa with an average width of 120 meters of golden sand.
The beach area witnessed the Battle of Río Salado in 1340, where Portuguese and Castilian forces defeated the Marinid and Nasrid armies.
