Valdevaqueros Beach
Playa de Valdevaqueros
A long, crescent-shaped sandy beach, with huge dunes at its eastern end sloping down to the sea, and one of Europe's most famous kitesurfing beaches.
Valdevaqueros lies about 10 km from town. Dunes and pine forest frame both ends of the bay, and hundreds of kites often fill the sky. Kitesurfing competitions are held here in summer. Beach bars and surf camps line the side of the N-340 road, and the atmosphere is best around sunset.
The beach is free to access. The summer car park charges a fee and often fills up, so arrive early or take the seasonal beach bus. Watch out for blowing sand in the wind, and keep clear of the kitesurfing zone when swimming.
