Beach overall scores
Canuelo Beach (Cádiz) region (Costa de la Luz sub-region) is located outside the Atlanterra settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"Playa de Canuelo is a true slice of paradise - the crystal clear water, the white sand that never ends, and the fresh air make it a dream destination. It's hard to get to, with a 30+ minute trek from Bolonia, but it's worth the effort. It's mainly deserted, with no beach bars, no music, and few people even bringing children. It's more of a nudist beach, but the vibe is super..."

"Playa del Canuelo is one of the most stunning natural beaches in Europe. It is not equipped with the usual amenities like chiringuitos, toilets and showers, nor is there a lifeguard service or wood bridges. To get to the beach you have to walk approximately 30 minutes, half of which is on a road in the sun and the other half is through a shady pine forest. The sand is a beau..."
