Lost a ring or other jewellery in Cádiz, Jerez, Conil, Tarifa or along the Costa de la Luz

The town hall gives figures for the four beaches of Cádiz (often written Cadiz). La Caleta, in the old town beside the castle of Santa Catalina, has a rocky reef. Santa María del Mar is 650 metres long, between two rock breakwaters. La Victoria runs for 2,800 metres along the promenade and averages 185 metres wide at low tide. Cortadura, 3,900 metres long with a dune ridge behind it, is the sand bar that joins Cádiz to San Fernando. The town hall describes all four as fine sand.

Valdelagrana is a kilometre and a half from the old town of El Puerto de Santa María, and the local tourist office describes a very wide, windy beach with a water sports school and pedalo hire. The Junta de Andalucía describes the corrales, fishing enclosures built between the tide marks on the beaches of Rota and Chipiona, home of Playa de Regla. Their stone walls stand clear of the water at low tide. Sanlúcar de Barrameda sits at the mouth of the Guadalquivir facing Doñana, with six kilometres of sand about 50 metres wide, from Bajo de Guía past La Calzada to La Jara. From Bajo de Guía, boats cross the river mouth to the Doñana shore, and visitor tours run along its beaches.

Chiclana town hall lists La Barrosa at 5,340 metres of fine sand with an average width of 90 metres. Sancti Petri, next to it, is 950 metres long, and the town hall notes rocks in the bathing area and a current.

Conil town hall describes Los Bateles as an urban beach of about 1,400 metres of fine white sand, reached by wooden boardwalks from the promenade. La Fontanilla follows, a wide family beach of fine golden sand with a gentle slope. Further north the calas of Roche are a run of coves below cliffs, some reached by stone steps. South of Conil, the Vejer tourist office describes El Palmar as an unspoilt beach of fine sand used for surfing and windsurfing.

Cape Trafalgar is a sandstone islet tied to the shore by a double sand spit, the Tómbolo de Trafalgar, so there is beach on both sides of the neck. Los Caños de Meca runs east from it below the cliffs of La Breña. At the Barbate end of those cliffs, Hierbabuena is about 900 metres of fine golden sand below a pine-covered dune, reached from beside the marina, with no services. Further south, beach guides give Zahara de los Atunes about 1,600 metres of fine golden sand.

Bolonia is a bay of fine golden sand about 3.8 kilometres long, with lifeguards in summer. The Bolonia dune, which the Junta describes as an active dune more than 30 metres high, open to the levante, the easterly wind, is reached by a marked walk of about a kilometre that starts on a wooden boardwalk and crosses the beach to its foot. Tarifa is known for that wind and for kitesurfing. At Los Lances, the long beach beside the town, the Junta says migrating birds gather to wait for the right wind to cross the Strait. Valdevaqueros lies further along the same shore.
