The best of Los Caños de Meca are, without a doubt, its beaches. But what makes it a unique place is the perfect union between the beaches and the atmosphere that fills its streets in summer. Spending the day in Los Caños de Meca recharges energy to anyone.
Buzzing with activity during the summer months, Los Caños de Meca offers the perfect day out; a place to shop in the vegan markets, choose from many restaurants for fabulous local food, enjoy a cold drink whilst looking out on spectacular views. Here you can go kitesurfing, paddle-boarding, scuba diving or horse riding. There are mountain bike trails and fabulous hiking in the woodland known as La Breña, all of which is National Parkland.
But the absolutely best thing about Los Caños de Meca is its sunsets. Unrivalled views from many vantage points mean that you can literally choose anywhere to enjoy the colors as the day ends. Sit with a mojito in hand at La Jaima, or watch from the lighthouse or from the beach at La Pequeña Lulu -a lovely restaurant-, every sunset is pure magic in this little nook on the Costa de la Luz.
Known for its alternative lifestyle, Los Caños de Meca offers a wide range of artisan markets offering beautiful crafts and clothing, as well as many small shops and restaurants offering organic and vegan, locally sourced, produce.

Due to its location, Los Caños de Meca is the cradle of water sports, among other activities. Throughout the year we can see kite-surfing kites painting the sky, people combing waves on the beach next to the Trafalgar Lighthouse, the occasional paddle-surfing enthusiast and a few floating buoys that alert that there is a diver in that place swimming among rocks and corals or fishing. In addition to this, many people opt for more dry sports such as cycling, walking or running through the natural park of La Breña, or yoga in one of the small studios that offer classes in the area.
Los Caños de Meca enjoys an enviable gastronomy, exquisite products and some establishments where you can find the best vegan dishes made with local organic products. From restaurants where you can enjoy delicious fish from the bay to small places where the main dish is breakfast and its elaborations do not leave anyone indifferent. In addition, most of the establishments where you can enjoy a great lunch, have great views of the sea.
Los Caños de Meca has multiple options when choosing which beach to visit depending on the needs of the bather. From small private coves where you can spend a day at the beach in total tranquility and sheltered from the wind, to larger and more crowded areas where we can find a greater number of families or large groups. At the foot of the Natural Park of La Breña, we have La Playa de los Castillejos, a virgin area in an enclave surrounded by beautiful nature. Note that this beach is one of the best known nudist beaches in the area. Closer to the village, attached to the Playa de Los Castillejos, are La Cala de La Pequeña Lulu, La Playa de la Ventana and some other tiny cove where you can spend the hours of low tide enjoying an almost private beach for those who arrive first as the maximum capacity is this beach rarely touches the double digits. Continuing along the coast, we find the main beach of Los Caños de Meca: La Playa del Pirata. A family beach located in the center of the "urbe". This beach has the occasional beach bar and, to highlight, the well-known Jaima La Meccarola. Finally, we have the area of the Trafalgar Lighthouse or Marisucia Beach which is reached by the deviation in front of the mini golf course that leads to the lighthouse itself. In this area, in addition to a perfect beach to spend a quiet Sunday, we have some beach bars where you can enjoy live music and the best atmosphere. In addition, the sunset from El Faro Trafalgar is a must.
