Caños de Meca is a small, unspoiled community on the stunning but windswept Costa de la Luz. Caños de Meca has many beautiful beaches, backed by cliffs and pine trees.
The area of Los Castillejos is formed by small coves, and if you head to the right of the cliffs, you will find the nudist beach, which is not very extensive - leading on into the Playa de la Cortina on the other side of some rocks on the beach.
The set of 7 kilometers is virgin and traditionally clothing is optional, although more nudists are found at the end of the lighthouse.
Put on a good footwear to walk on the rocks and you will reach an area known as Las Cortinas, famous for the natural waterfalls that plunge down the cliff.
