Playa La Huelga y Playa de la Canalina, Sandy beach near Hontoria, Spain.
Playa La Huelga y Playa de la Canalina are two adjacent coves along the northern coast with sandy areas and rocky sections forming a natural shoreline. The water deepens gradually, making the area suitable for different types of water activities and exploration.
This area served as a natural harbor point for centuries, supporting local maritime activities and small-scale trading operations. The nearby buildings grew to support the fishing and coastal communities that relied on these waters.
The beach sits at the mouth of the San Cecilio River, where local fishing traditions and maritime activities have shaped the coastal community.
You can drive to the beaches via a marked path from the nearby village, with a flat meadow serving as parking right by the water. The route is straightforward to follow, and finding your way back is simple when you head toward the village again.
The beach width changes dramatically with the tides: at low tide you can walk across more than 180 meters of exposed sand, but at high tide much of it disappears underwater. This means each visit feels different depending on when you arrive.
