Playa del Barranco, Public beach in Algeciras, Spain.
The 500-meter-long beach extends along the Bay of Algeciras, featuring golden sand shores and clear Mediterranean waters suitable for swimming.
The beach area developed alongside the growth of Algeciras port, which has been a crucial maritime center since the 18th century.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at Playa del Barranco, continuing methods passed down through generations of coastal communities.
Visitors can reach the beach via dirt roads from central Algeciras, with minimal facilities requiring guests to bring necessary supplies.
The beach provides direct views of Gibraltar and, on clear days, the northern coast of Africa across the Strait of Gibraltar.
