Playa de Getares, Beach at Algeciras, Spain.

Located between Punta San García and Punta Carnero, this 1.5-kilometer beach stretches along the Bay of Gibraltar with a width of 40 meters.

The beach name comes from the Roman settlement of Caetaria, which contained a fish salting factory and was later known as Cetares during medieval times.

This beach features multiple restaurants and bars along its promenade, offering traditional Spanish coastal dining experiences to visitors throughout the year.

The beach maintains designated areas for swimming, complete with lifeguard services, adapted facilities for disabled visitors, and public transportation access via Bus Line 8.

From the shoreline, visitors can observe large container ships navigating the Strait of Gibraltar while mountains filled with vegetation create the backdrop.
