This beach near Matalascanas was the best I've ever seen in Europe! It had it all - public toilets, tons of beach bars, public showers, a bus station nearby (it's super easy to get here from Sevilla), soft golden sand, and both deep and shallow areas for whatever floats your boat.

A paradise for those who love the softness of sand and the beauty of seashells. It's a stunning spot to explore and enjoy the ocean breeze. truly a sight to behold, and it's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates nature's gifts.

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!

Playa de Matalascanas is nestled right next to Doñana National Park and alongside Playa del Coto. It is a well-developed area, with access facilities, a walkway and a few old relics, such as La Torre de la Higuera, a 16th century lighthouse. Unfortunately, it is in ruins due to the devastating effects of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake tsunami.
