Incredible Costa De La Luz Beach Holidays
Nestled between the Portugese border and Spain’s Costa del Sol, is the Costa de la Luz or “Coast of Light”.
The sand is finer and more golden than Costa del Sol, and the beaches are generally more spread out and backed by sand dunes and pine trees. You can choose from natural, virgin beaches to others with facilities and infrastructure, from small isolated coves and fishing ports to beaches stretching for miles, and from family beaches to others more secluded.
The Costa de la Luz is 100 kilometres of sandy beach bliss with varied water sports opportunities, and you will not find the high-rise hotel developments of other areas, which makes holidays in Costa de la Luz a popular choice. There is a huge selection of water sports, golf, fishing, gliding and mountain biking, and the Bay of Cadiz annually hosts the “Tall Ships” regatta.
