Vejer Beaches

Although Vejer is not a beach town, its close proximity to several beaches with white sand and clear water makes it a popular tourist destination.

The closest is El Palmar beach. It is not accessible by road hence is relatively free from crowds and ideal for relaxing or surfing. With no construction allowed around the beach it is well preserved

The cape of Trafalgar is a small beach resort with beautiful scenery and cliffs. The beach has strong currents and tides and can be a little risky for children and adults unaccustomed to the sea. The turbulent waves can be fatal for swimmers who venture too far. The lighthouse made famous from the battle of Trafalgar dominates the horizon.

The Los Canos beach is considered to be one of the most peaceful in the region. It is not crowded and does not have the usual beach facilities. There is a light house area with a promenade with some excellent views. In winter, rain water helps to form lagoons in the lighthouse area. They host a variety of amphibians, reptiles and fish and is appreciated for its rich fauna and archeological remains. The area is also home to a number of species of coastal birds. Around the beach are some residential developments and the Breñas Nature Park. There is also a nudist section to this beach. The region is also known for its lively nightspots during summer.

Pirata is a lovely beach also located in the region of Los Caños with fine sand and clean water. Pirata offers good facilities including lifeguards, toilets, showers and a host of bars and restaurants.
