About Playa de la Alcaidesa

By Equipe editorial GTM Labs · Updated 03/10/2026

Playa de la Hacienda is the part of Alcaidesa beach that belongs to La Línea de la Concepción: it begins at the Puerto del Higuerón stream and is the last beach in the municipality. It has a broad expanse of sand backed by a large bank that gives it the look of a cove, and a group of rocks rises from the water at its main access point. It sits next to the Alcaidesa residential estate, close to its golf courses; to the south, Santa Clara beach, surrounded by Mediterranean scrubland, stretches to Torre Nueva point.
