Las Tres Piedras is a 1.25 km beach between Chipiona and Costa Ballena, at the mouth of the Guadalquivir. Peaks break left and right over sand, with patches of flat rock. Small, gentle days are good for learning, and in winter it can give longer walls for turns. It is one of the best-known surf beaches in this part of the coast.
