Playa de Zahara de los Atunes, Atlantic beach in Zahara de los Atunes, Spain

The beach extends over 6.3 kilometers of natural sand, bordered by coastal dunes and Mediterranean vegetation along the Costa de la Luz.

The beach area contains remnants of a 19th-century steamship called El Vapor, which emerges from the water during low tide near the old fort.

Local fishermen maintain traditions of tuna fishing methods that date back centuries, with seasonal catches celebrated through regional festivities.

The beach provides summer facilities including lifeguards, first-aid stations, changing rooms, showers, three beach bars, and two restaurants.

The beach contains 60 meters of protected native flora along its coastline, creating a natural barrier between the sand and developed areas.
