It features a nudist area, the protected area of El Chorrito, characterised by hidden coves. The natural spaces that surround the beach belong to the Natural Park of El Estrecho, and make it a virgin and natural shore. The beach is perfect for those who seek preserved wild environments, where the creation of urbanised areas are forbidden.
Baelo Claudia - History of Bolonia beach
This place has a 2,000-year-old history, Baelo Claudia, whose ruins can be seen in the northern part of the beach, was one of the most important cities of the Roman Bética. It was founded in the late 2nd-century b.C. on the remains of the Phoenician settlement of Bailo. Its downfall started in the 3rd century, after a terrible tsunami destroyed part of the city. What remained suffered pirate attacks, until it was completely abandoned in the 7th century. Nowadays, the remains of this old city are an important site of cultural interest, located in one of the most beautiful areas of the coast of Cadiz.
