Faro de Trafalgar — naturist shore
Los Caños de Meca / Barbate, Cádiz, Andalusia
A broad sandy shore beside the Trafalgar lighthouse, with an established naturist tradition away from the busiest access points. The sand continues northwest towards Zahora, backed by dunes and open views of the Atlantic.

Directions & Parking
Getting there
Take the A-2233 from Conil towards Los Caños de Meca and turn at the Faro / Cabo de Trafalgar sign near the western entrance to the village. The approach is the Carril del Faro, not the road into Barbate.
Parking
Use a signed parking area at the start of the lighthouse approach and continue on foot. Check the current charge and local parking signs; the road nearest the lighthouse is not a guaranteed parking place.
Finding the naturist area
Follow Carril del Faro towards the lighthouse. At the sandy neck, Marisucia is on the village side; for this listing take the western shore towards Zahora. Walk away from the busiest entrance to the more open sandy stretch shown by the FEN marker.
Where naturism applies
This entry covers the western Trafalgar–Zahora shore. Los Castillejos, beyond the eastern end of Caños de Meca, is a separate naturist place.
- Bring water and shade. Follow the beach flags and any local bathing restrictions around the rocky cape.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-12. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
