BeachesBy contrast, on a summer's day, it’s the trendy place to be. A stunning wilderness of 20 km of unspoilt white sandy beaches stretching as far as Cape Gracia.
You can drive south from Zahara, as far as the
lighthouse on Cape Gracia and explore the beaches. This is a no through road; hence the area has remained unspoiled.
