Playa de Getares

Playa de Getares is a beach in Algeciras stretching along a curved shoreline with a mix of fine sand and pebbles meeting the water. The location sits at a unique geographical point where different sea conditions meet.

The name comes from a Roman fish processing site that existed nearby and evolved through different versions over medieval centuries. This coastal strip held trade importance for centuries due to its location on the strait.

The waterfront hosts casual dining spots where locals gather to enjoy fresh seafood dishes typical of this coastal region, reflecting the area's deep connection to the water.

The beach has showers, restrooms and parking available for visitors, with restaurants within easy walking distance along the waterfront. These basic facilities and dining options make it straightforward to spend time here comfortably.

From this beach you can see both Mediterranean and Atlantic waters since it sits at the strait where these two seas meet. This rare geographical position creates a place where two different marine zones exist side by side.
