East of Mazagón the beach runs for miles beneath tall sandy cliffs and pine woods, on the edge of the Doñana National Park. When a solid south-west swell reaches it, the sandbars here can give good lefts and rights with hollow sections. It is one of the wildest stretches of the Andalusian coast. It needs a lot of swell, so it is usually small.

Local tips

Wannasurf gives it the alternative name Casas de Bonares. Walk along the beach to find the best bank, and show respect: the few locals know it well.

Getting there

Along the A-494 coast road from Mazagón toward Matalascañas, with paths through the pines and down the dunes to the beach.

Inconsistent. Surf-forecast says it does not work very often, and wannasurf says it needs about 1.5 m to start. It is a winter-storm spot.
Crowd and vibe
Nearly empty on weekdays and a few surfers at weekends. Wannasurf flags some localism, so keep a low profile.
