Rompeculos

Rompeculos is a sandy shore on Spain's coast that extends roughly 3 kilometers along the water and reaches about 100 meters wide. Natural dunes and coastal plants line the beach, forming its distinctive character and shape.

The beach got its name in the 1800s when strong storms broke through a river channel in the coastal dunes. This event shaped the geography of the area and left a lasting name that people still use today.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals spend summer days enjoying traditional coastal activities and social time by the water. It reflects everyday Spanish beach culture and how communities use the shore for leisure.

The beach can be reached through a marked path from the A494 road between Mazagón and Matalascañas, near kilometer 32.6. Parking spaces are available at the cliff level, making it easy to walk down to the water.

The beach sits where four different municipalities meet at their borders: Palos de la Frontera, Moguer, Lucena del Puerto, and Almonte. This unusual geographic meeting point gives the place a special position in the region.
