Playa de Santa Maria del Mar (Santa Maria del Mar Beach), Cadiz
Santa María del Mar Beach (Playa de Santa Maria del Mar) is located on the Costa de la Luz in the city of Cádiz (Spain), more specifically in the area outside the walls. It is the continuation of Playa de la Victoria and extends from the cemetery, approximately, to the height of Puerta Tierra , where the breakwater and the southern field begin.
The most typical part of this beach is the one located between the two breakwaters, where a large number of families gather, especially on Sundays. It is also common to see bodysurfing on this beach since good waves are produced here on stormy days.

Cadiz is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Western Europe. Some say Cadiz was founded by Hercules after performing his tenth labor, wherein he slew Geryon, the three-headed monster, and stole his herd of red cattle. Others say no. They say the city was founded by Phoenician seafarers who beached their black ships on the sandy island of Erytheia three thousand years ago.
