Five natural parks that hide some of the best beaches in Spain
Cantabria, Huelva, the Canary Islands, Cádiz and Galicia are some of the places that have beaches in Natural Parks
Traveling within Spain has become the safest and cheapest alternative for these holidays. Moving by road we can access places full of nature in which to disconnect from day to day. For those who want to enjoy a good day at the beach, Indie Campers has selected some of the best sandy beaches in Spain within natural parks.
Valdearenas Beach, Liencres Dunes Natural Park (Cantabria)
This 2.8-kilometer-long beach is located within the Dunas de Liencres Natural Park , whose dunes are considered one of the most important in northern Spain due to their geomorphological interest and their particular ecological characteristics. Valdearenas does not usually have many bathers thanks to the natural environment in which it is located, which is why it preserves its nature and tranquility. Usually, and due to its orientation, this fine sandy beach has strong winds and great waves, which makes it one of the best places on the Cantabrian coast to practice sports such as windsurfing, surfing or kitesurfing.
Torre del Loro beach in Doñana Park (Mazagón, Huelva)
This 3-kilometer-long, 100-meter-wide beach with little waves is one of those that we can find within the Doñana Natural Park, one of the most protected and recognized enclaves in Spain for its biodiversity. Access to the beach is not easy and, thanks to this, it is usually not very crowded, so tranquility is guaranteed. If we walk around this semi-virgin beach, with fine golden sand, we can find cliffs of different heights, such as El Asperillo, a sandy cliff that is a Natural Monument of Andalusia.
Guayedra beach in the Tamadaba Natural Park (Gran Canaria)
This nudist beach is located within the Tamadaba Natural Park on the island of Gran Canaria. Guayedra stands out for its biodiversity, its strong waves and its impressive landscape of ravines and steep rocks. From the beach, made of stone and volcanic black sand, we can enjoy impressive sunsets almost in solitude since access to Guayedra can only be done on foot through the ravine or by off-road vehicle.
Bolonia beach in the Natural Park of the Strait (Tarifa, Cádiz)
On the west side of this beach, located in the Estrecho Natural Park in Tarifa, is the Bolonia Dune, which has been declared a Natural Monument, recognizing the uniqueness and beauty of this incredible active dune of more than 30 meters high. Bolonia beach is almost 4 kilometers long and is one of the few virgin beaches in our country. Near it are the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Baelo Claudia and, at its eastern end, we can enjoy impressive natural pools.
Vilar beach in the Corrubedo Dunes Park (La Coruña)
To visit this beach of fine golden sand, we will have to go to the Corrubedo Dunes Park, which has a mobile dune more than a kilometer long and 20 meters high where there is an interesting ecosystem. Vilar beach is in the open sea so it usually has strong waves and currents. However, tranquility is guaranteed on this beach which, together with the beaches of A Ladeira, Langoa, Anguieiro and Rio de Mar, forms the largest beach in A Coruña, almost 4 kilometers long.
