La Alcaidesa beach

La Alcaidesa is a long beach along the southern Spanish coast with gray, coarse sand and clear water suitable for swimming. The shoreline extends for several kilometers with wide, open areas right at the water's edge.

The beach has marked a natural boundary for centuries in a major sea trade zone between Europe and Africa. This area was long an important passage for ships and goods moving across the Mediterranean.

The beach bars here serve traditional espetos and tapas, places where you can experience how locals eat and socialize along the coast. These establishments are gathering spots where people spend time throughout the day.

The beach offers disabled access, parking spaces, and shower facilities for visitors. You can enter the water from several points, making it easy to find a convenient spot for your visit.

From this beach you can see three different territories at once: Spain, Gibraltar's eastern face, and the northern mountains of Morocco across the strait. This location gives you a rare view of three countries from one spot.
