Playa de La Canaleta, Sand beach in Punta Umbría, Spain.
Playa de La Canaleta is a sandy beach with golden-colored sand located along the Costa de la Luz in Punta Umbría. The water is clear and gentle, making it comfortable for swimming, with a wide sand area suitable for lounging and recreation.
The beach developed as Punta Umbría grew from a small fishing village into a modern coastal destination. This transformation occurred through the 20th century and shaped what the town is today.
Local beach bars and waterfront restaurants serve dishes rooted in the region's fishing traditions. These gathering places reflect how the community continues to build its daily life around the sea and its bounty.
The beach has clear entry points with shower facilities and lifeguards on duty during the season. Parking is available nearby, making it easy for visitors to arrive and spend time on the sand.
Since June 2024, dogs are allowed to roam freely and swim on the beach. This makes the spot special for travelers who want to bring their pets along.
