Playa de la Flecha de El Rompido

The beach stretches along a natural sand barrier that separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Río Piedras estuary, forming a continuous strip of white sand.

Throughout centuries, this coastal area served as a strategic point for local fishing communities, who utilized the natural formation for their maritime activities.

The beach represents an integral part of local maritime traditions, where fishermen continue to practice their traditional methods passed down through generations.

Visitors can reach the beach via regular boat services departing from El Rompido port, with transportation available from sunrise until sunset during summer months.

The beach formation consists of a 12-kilometer sand arrow that continuously grows toward the east due to ocean currents and sediment accumulation.
