User reviews
"That place is not the best place to relax. The sand is alright but the area is quite crowded and the restaurants nearby have limited options. The food is okay, but nothing special, ranging from fish and chips to paella. Drinks are available, but nothing special. All in all, it's not worth the visit."
Robyn Damaris
"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."
