Cuesta Maneli Beach

Fantastic experience: Just a beautiful beach and if you visit outside of main season and during the week, chances are good that you'll have the beach for yourself.

Fantastic experience: A paradise without a doubt, already quite recovered after the devastating fire.

Fantastic experience: After parking and walking along the walkway, you have 90 steps to go down to the beach. It's not crowded since the beach is huge, but towards Matalascañas it is very dirty with the debris that the sea washes up. It's worth coming and spending an entire day at this solitary and wild beach.

Fantastic experience: Amazing. There are too many fuel barrels thrown by drug cartels.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Europe

Fantastic experience: Such a great beach. Large parking lot, great wooden walkway to the beach 1.9 km. But: the beach is totally dirty, many canisters were washed up. Although the beach is regularly checked by cars, it is not cleaned. It gives a bad image and is very harmful to nature and the sea. Not nice... I collected a lot of trash and carried it to the parking lot in front.

Positive experience: Highly recommended walk

Fantastic experience: A beautiful beach. The path providing access is very good. 1.3 km between the parking and the beach. Very easy.

Positive experience: Cuesta Maneli Beach is a stunning, unspoiled beach located within the Doñana Natural Park in Huelva, Andalusia. Known for its pristine beauty and natural surroundings, it is accessed via a scenic wooden boardwalk of about 1.5 kilometers that takes visitors through dunes and pine forests, offering a tranquil experience. The beach itself boasts golden sands, clear waters, and a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and enjoy nature at its best.

Fantastic experience: A breathtaking place! Beautiful!

Positive experience: Beautiful beach in the middle of Doñana Park. The only downside is that it was a bit dirty, full of plastics, trash, etc... humans, the truth is that we are too much pigs in unique environments like this. What a shame...

Positive experience: End of September 3 euros to park in a fairly spacious parking lot. As of the time of writing this article, there are no sanitary facilities or showers. There are picnic benches under the trees for shade. Prepare for a long walk along the promenade through the sand dunes to the beach. There are about 3 benches along the way. No shade. At the end of the promenade, there is a large observation area with seating that offers a fabulous view of the coastal cliffs. The walk is worth it! At the time of writing this article, there was only a large number of stairs leading down to the beach, with no slope. The beach is beautiful, very quiet at the end of September. There are no facilities on the beach. But it is really worth a visit! Recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very peaceful and pure nature

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach, warm and crystal clear waters, calm sea, family-friendly atmosphere. Great for a family day.

Fantastic experience: Tranquility. Relax. Almost virgin beach. You have to park and walk along a wooden walkway for about a kilometer to reach the beach and go down some stairs, I do not recommend it for people with reduced mobility or wheelchairs. Parking costs around three euros for the whole day. There are no restrooms or beach bars nearby, so I recommend bringing food and drinks. Fine sand. Better to visit at low tide. I loved the beach, not overcrowded in early September.

Fantastic experience: Amazing beach. I wish some people who visit it wouldn't leave cans, toilet paper, and all that... they fill it with trash.

Fantastic experience: Very very good

Positive experience: Excellent beach. Not crowded. The only thing is that it's hard to get to the beach. From the parking lot, there are stairs and a long walkway, but if you have no mobility issues, it's worth it.

Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Huelva. Unfortunately, the landscape around it has changed due to the great fire of 2017.

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Fantastic experience: Very nice quiet clean beach

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt, one of the most spectacular beaches in Huelva

Fantastic experience: You have to see it, the 20-minute walk is worth it. There are no beach bars, you need to bring water.

Fantastic experience: This is my second time. The place captivated me, the soft sand, the crystal clear water come together, and although it is true that there are 1,371 meters from the parking lot to the beach, it is worth seeing this spectacular beach. The path has no shade, so take something to cover your head. There are bins for trash, and the walkways are in very good condition. Bring your food and drinks and enjoy a wonderful day. And of course, I recommend you watch the sunset.

Fantastic experience: Quiet and beautiful beach. With plenty of space.

Fantastic experience: A paradisiacal place, tranquil where you can be in natural contact with the sea.

Fantastic experience: You leave your car in a monitored parking lot for €3 a day, access through a wooden platform with just over 1km, and arrive at a not very crowded beach.

Fantastic experience: Pure nature. Beautiful place

Fantastic experience: A very peaceful beach although it has some stones. You have to walk a very long boardwalk from the parking lot (which is paid) but the beach itself is very peaceful and cool.

Fantastic experience: A lovely beach. Depending on the time and the tide, there can be a narrow strip of sand.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach

Fantastic experience: ♥️

Fantastic experience: Many stairs. Very comfortable.

Positive experience: Very quiet and spacious beach...

Fantastic experience: The three hundred kilometer walk along the boardwalk to reach the beach is well worth it. When the tide is low, there is a good amount of beach, but when the tide is high, there are only about 10-15 meters of beach left. I don't know if the town hall will do anything about it. Certainly, the time spent on the beach is peaceful and enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Beach in a natural park. You access it via a 1 km boardwalk from the parking lot to the beach. From the beach, you can walk to Matalascañas (14 km) or Torre del Loro (4 km). The parking is paid in summer, but if you arrive early, it is still closed and free. Pets are allowed on the beach.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful, not crowded, €3 for parking and 1.5 km walk from the parking to the beach. It's worth it.

Positive experience: Dog-friendly and topless beach. You have to walk quite a bit to reach the beach, and it's not suitable for all types of people because of this. Trash accumulates in the bins. Other than that, a very average beach to spend the day. Parking fee is €3.

Positive experience: For me, it would be 5 stars, the problem is the dirt that humans leave behind. It's truly a shame because it could be a paradise. Another negative thing is when the tide is low, the people who go for collection come with their all-terrain vehicles as if it were the Paris-Dakar, and in addition to the speed, the stench of gasoline they leave behind. One day, I counted up to 8 all-terrain vehicles together; this should be regulated and a limit should be set.

Fantastic experience: Spectacular

Fantastic experience: Very nice beach

Fantastic experience: Virgin beach, very clean and with a great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: That part of Huelva is amazing, with very long and secluded beaches, and gigantic cliffs, they are stunning.

Fantastic experience: After the necessary walk to get there, the beach is very nice and dogs are allowed.

Fantastic experience: There is a parking lot where you pay €3 and from the parking to the beach (round trip just over 3km) there is a wooden walkway... the beach is super beautiful.

Fantastic experience: Relaxing and beautiful access path. The beach itself is a wonder.

Fantastic experience: Very nice walk to the beach

Fantastic experience: Cuesta Maneli is one of the best beaches in Huelva and also one of the highest-rated in Andalusia. It is located in the Doñana Natural Space, situated between the towns of Matalascañas and Mazagón. To access Cuesta Maneli, we will have to park our car at the beginning of the boardwalk that leads us to it. The previous boardwalk that took us to the beach was destroyed in the disastrous fire of 2017, so a new one has been built. This boardwalk is surrounded by dunes and is a little over a kilometer long. Its access is free and it will guide us to the viewpoint that is right at the top of the beach. Once we reach this viewpoint, we can go down some stairs that will take us to the famous beach. It is a unique beach that immediately captivates everyone who visits it. Surrounded by a privileged environment and with cliffs that take your breath away with their beauty. Without a doubt, it is a unique place to enjoy a day at the beach, a sunset, or simply to escape a little from the problems surrounding current society and breathe tranquility.

Fantastic experience: It is an ideal place to disconnect, enjoy a swim in its crystal clear waters and relax on the fine white sand. The walk along the wooden walkway is a unique experience, especially at dawn. Although the lack of services such as beach bars could be seen as a disadvantage for some, I personally found that this adds a special charm to this beach. Without a doubt, it is a place that deserves a visit and I recommend it to all those looking for a natural and quiet corner to enjoy the sea and the sun. A large parking lot and picnic areas make the choice of this beach even better.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful wild beach!

Fantastic experience: For me, my favorite beach. With low tide it looks spectacular. A perfect setting to enjoy the sun, beach, nature, and practice sports. It will rise from its ashes.

Fantastic experience: Magnificent beach,,,, I hope it never gets crowded. A beach for those who don't mind not having the services and comforts of other beaches. The path,,, after the fire and restoration is a little more 'hard',,,, but it's worth it.

Positive experience: We have travelled to dozens of Europe's beaches and this ranks in the top three. We parked our van at the excellent Doñana camp site at Tore de Loroand walked most days two kilometeres along this beautiful beach. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is the ridiculous situation with rubbish. For the local authorities : Instead of placing one bin for the entire beach ( a ridiculous idea) and this having it overflowing and spreading into the dunes, why not simply not provide a bin and place signs along the beach telling people to take their rubbish home ?

Fantastic experience: Un paraíso....

Fantastic experience: Playa muy tranquila y amplia de arena fina

Fantastic experience: Un paraíso virgen en el corazón de Doñana La playa de Cuesta Maneli es un lugar mágico, un paraíso virgen situado en el corazón de Doñana. Esta playa de arena fina y dorada se extiende a lo largo de 3 kilómetros, rodeada de dunas, pinares y marismas. El acceso a la playa se realiza a través de una pasarela de madera que atraviesa los acantilados del Asperillo, un monumento natural de gran belleza. El camino es un poco largo, pero merece la pena para llegar a esta playa tan especial. Puedes ver más lugares de interés en mi cuenta de IG @fotografikastudio_pro

Positive experience: Very beautifully laid out. The long beach, almost empty of people, is accessible via a long wooden path.

Positive experience: Barely any shade options. Very nice clean beach.

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful clean beach, calm, pure nature, it was worth it for us.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful

Fantastic experience: Fantastic beach.

Fantastic experience: I love this beach, for me it is one of the best beaches in Andalusia, here I connect with nature, nothing to envy to the Caribbean.

Positive experience: Great beach, free of beach bars and pet friendly; however, you have to walk along a 1.2 km boardwalk with slopes and hills, so think about it before bringing your mother-in-law.

Fantastic experience: A quiet and natural beach. I loved it. You have to walk there but it's worth it.

Fantastic experience: A fascinating walk over huge dunes, a very quiet serene beach, easy parking, paid, the beach is a giant wide area full of beauty, some marine litter that needs to be removed for everything to be perfect.

Fantastic experience: Recommended beach by locals from Huelva. Paid parking, yes, but it's not a luxury, €3 to reach this magnificent beach. With hardly any people, very unspoiled, and the water was crystal clear that day. Recommended for relaxation.

Negative experience: I really liked the wooden walkway that takes you to the beach, a quiet place where you can go with your pets. The downside is that the same entry to the water has too many shells, which made it difficult to swim in my case. You have to be prepared with water shoes.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach, although like all those in the area, the water is very murky. The path to the beach is a 1300-meter wooden walkway. As with all this coast, there is quite a bit of trash everywhere.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach to go with your pets, the path to reach the beach is a bit long, so I recommend going light on unnecessary gear. One of my favorite beaches to have a nice day with my furry friends.

Negative experience: Very nice beach, but it's quite a long way from the parking lots. We went very loaded with the cooler and it was quite a haul.

Fantastic experience: I have fallen in love with this place. I had a great day; it's worth going there... you leave the car in the parking lot, which costs 3 euros. Then you have to walk 1.3 km along a wooden walkway, and you need to be prepared with drinks and something to eat to spend the day because there are no beach bars or any other places to buy anything, and there is also no cell service, but for me, it was the best way to disconnect.

Negative experience: The beach itself is pure 5 star location (water, sand, views, picturesque access). However, the lack of manners and complete disrespect to other visitors from some of the dog owners makes this a truly disgusting spot

Fantastic experience: Marvellous place with fantastic access. But please change the use and remove the garbage boxes on the beach

Negative experience: No toilets, no shower, no clothes changing cabinets. The beach had fully filled with garbage containers.

Fantastic experience: A nice and large beach for everyone who doesn't have a problem to walk 1,3 km (up and down) from the parking. It is important to mention that at the end of the way to the beach there are stairs, which might be problematic in some cases (e.g. with a baby buggy or wheelchair). Anyway, I would recommend this place and probably it makes sense to spend the entire day there because of the time necessary for the way.

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful places I have ever been! A wild beach - make sure you bring along anything you will need as there are no facilities, and be ready to have your breath taken away
