Beaches

There are two stretches of unspoilt coastline within 10 minutes of the apartment. Firstly there is the Costa de La Luz (Spanish Algarve) from Isla Canela down to Matalascanas. Then you have a choice of equally beautiful beaches along the Eastern Portuguese Algarve coastline. Beaches along the Costa de la Luz are generally long, sandy and backed by dunes and pine woods. During July and August the beaches nearest the resorts are mainly busy with Spanish visitors from Huelva city and Sevilla.

For the rest of the year, this coast is uncrowded and even in Summer, it's possible to find a relatively peaceful place on the beach. Although the beaches are exposed, they are less windswept than ones along the Cadiz stretch of the Costa de la Luz, but it's still good for windsurfing. The two main beaches are Punta Moral Beach and Isla Canela Beach.

As the Punta Moral beach and the Isla Canela beach are connected to each other, it is easy for you to access it when strolling along the seashore. Those who are with a car simply have to keep an eye open for the urbanisation which is named after the beach. It is a much more natural beach with a few bars and restaurants and some showers. The beach is separated from its surroundings with sand dunes and bushes which have to be crossed first.

The Isla Canela Beach is the last one in Huelva before reaching the border to Portugal. It is a large beach with 5.5 kilometres in length and about 60 metres wide. Unlike its neighbour, the Punta Moral Beach, this one is urbanised and features everything from typical chiringuitos (beach bars) to sports facilities. When entering the beach, you will walk on a path through vegetation before reaching the fine sand and calm sea. It also has a disabled access with wooden footbridges that lead half way into the beach. Due to its facilities, the Isla Canela Beach is popular with families and groups of friends. It offers parasols, hammocks, beach volleyball, showers and parking spaces. Water sports such as windsurfing are possible.
