Playa de Cuesta Maneli

Playa de Cuesta Maneli is a sand beach along the Atlantic coast featuring golden sand, natural dunes, and Mediterranean pine forests. The area sits within Doñana National Park, where protection regulations shape how the beach functions and develops.

The coastline formed through geological processes over thousands of years, with sediments creating layers still visible today. The Acantilado del Asperillo Natural Monument contains fossil dunes from ancient periods, showing the long history of how this landscape developed.

The beach draws different kinds of visitors, with separate areas where traditional swimmers and naturists can both enjoy the shore throughout the year.

Access is through a wooden boardwalk from the parking area, which takes about 15 minutes on foot. Visitors need to bring cash for vehicle parking fees, and spaces are limited during busy times.

The protected status provides habitat for various bird species such as plovers, terns, and sandpipers. These birds use the coastal zone for breeding and resting, especially during migration periods.
