The Costa de la Luz (Coast of light) is the Western part of the Andalucía the Atlantic coastline. Fine sands are a more golden colour than the neighbouring Costa del Sol.
Beaches here are generally more expansive and usually backed by sand dunes and pine trees. This part of the coast has not seen the high-rise hotel development of other areas. Temperatures are slightly milder and the often strong Atlantic winds and waves are favoured by wind surfers and surfers alike.
