Castilla beach has about twenty km of coastline with very steep cliffs and immense undeveloped dimensions, an extensive and surprising rustic beach, almost virgin, where nudism is usually practiced, which can only be accessed through certain points, which are signposted.
The 35-kilometer long beach in the National Park Coto de Doñana is a natural jewel and, with its unspoiled nature, stands in stark contrast to the usually very heavily used coasts in southern Spain. With its variety of different species and landscapes, Spain's largest national park is a biosphere reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the wide, largely untouched sandy beach with the dune landscape behind it, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in Spain, overlooking the Gulf of Cadiz. And that, without having to share the views of the setting sun with too many people. Since the entrance to the park is heavily regulated, visitor numbers are limited even in high season. Apart from the sandy beach and some roads and paths through the dunes, you can only reach the interior of the park by means of guided tours. If you want to get to know the park or observe rare animal species, you should sign up for a tour at one of the visitor centers, especially in high season. The dune landscape and the sandy beach are just one of the attractions in the Doñana National Park - the marshes and wetlands in the mouth of the Rio Guadalquivir are for many nature lovers the real reason to visit the park.
If you come to the National Park mainly because of the beach and the sunsets, we recommend a hotel in the tourist town of Matalascañas, which is surrounded on three sides by the National Park and in the area also several visitor centers. Camping Doñana Mazagón is located within the National Park within walking distance of the beach and the dunes. In principle, the entrance to the national park is free.
