This place is a dream come true in October! It's almost empty, which makes it even more desirable. The sunsets are breathtaking - truly a sight to behold! Absolutely stunning!
Valdearenas Beach stretches for a kilometer and a half, providing ample space for various activities. One of its highlights is the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the safe and calm fresh water, as there are no waves. Additionally, the beach is a great destination for water sports enthusiasts, offering options like sailing, kayaking, pedal boats, and even rafting. For those interested in exploring the area further, there is also the chance to take a boat trip from the nearby Lake Iznájar Nautical Station. Furthermore, Valdearenas Beach, located within the Valdearenas Natural Park, is dog-friendly, ensuring that our furry friends can have a wonderful time as well.
Doñana beach, or Coto beach, is a part of the Doñana National Park in Andalusia, Spain. It is an untouched beach with no entry fee, bordered by a barrier of 'sticks'. It's a paradise for those who want a beach without the crowds, but don't expect too much of the scenery.
What an amazing artificial sandy beach! There is ample free parking available in close proximity. The water is pleasantly warm and suitable for both children and adults to enjoy. While a lifeguard was present, their attentiveness seemed lacking. Adjacent to the beach, there is a roadside kiosk where you can purchase refreshing cold drinks and ice creams. Additionally, there is a café available, although ordering may prove challenging if you have limited knowledge of basic Spanish. Not far from the café, there is a facility where you can rent kayaks, paddle boards, and other equipment. Once again, if you are not proficient in Spanish, you might encounter difficulties in obtaining what you desire. I highly recommend visiting this beach and lake!
We visited the Isla recreational area, which offers rental services for hammocks, kayaks, paddle surfing, pedal boats, and even an inflatable play area. The rental price is €10 for either 1 or 2 hours, depending on what you choose to rent. Additionally, there is a shaded area with tables, although they are situated on a higher level than the water, making it slightly uncomfortable due to the noticeable slope. The water's bottom consists mostly of sandstone with some mud, so it is not necessary but recommended to wear water shoes. Overall, it was a lovely experience costing €1.20 for adults and €0.60 for children under 10 years old. However, the parking lot at the recreational area costs €1.50, but it is quite small and fills up rapidly. As a result, we had to park on the road.
