Los Caños de Meca
Los Caños, Andalusia, Spain
🪨Rocks🌀Strong rips
Los Caños de Meca sits near Cape Trafalgar—where Admiral Nelson secured British naval supremacy in 1805 and where Atlantic swells make their last stand before entering the Mediterranean. The beach offers powerful, consistent waves in a protected natural park setting with bohemian village charm. The dramatic lighthouse, historical gravitas, and quality beachbreak peaks make this one of Andalusia's most appealing surf destinations when winter swells arrive.
