Playa del Espigón Juan Carlos I, Natural beach in Huelva, Spain.
Description
Playa del Espigón Juan Carlos I is a coastal beach in Huelva province that stretches along the Atlantic shoreline with wide sandy areas and natural dune formations. The landscape features minimal urban construction, creating an open and relatively undeveloped character.
History
The beach came into being following the construction of the Juan Carlos I Breakwater, which altered natural ocean currents and coastal dynamics. This infrastructure project fundamentally changed how water and sand moved along this section of coast.

The beach brings together local families and visitors seeking the Atlantic coast experience, with informal gatherings reflecting everyday seaside routines. You notice how people use the space naturally, moving between the sand and the water as the tides and seasons change.
Practical
The beach is accessible by bus service from Huelva city center, making it reachable without a car. The warmer months offer the most comfortable visiting conditions, though the beach remains accessible year-round.
