The coast is relatively undeveloped with tourist development in Huelva province near the Portuguese border and at Novo Sancti Petri, near Chiclana de la Frontera, just south of Cadiz. The coast lacks the high-rise development of the Costa del Sol and is a favourite holiday destination for the Spanish.

As with most of the rest of Spain, Spanish is the main language. However, as the Costa de la Luz becomes better known among English and German tourists you are finding more Spanish in the reports are speaking some English and German.

Several championship-standard golf courses provide challenges to the keen golfer.
To the south, Tarifa is well known as the windsurfing centre of Europe, and has ferry links to Tangier in Morocco.
The Costa de la Luz has sandy beaches: La Barrosa beach is 6 km long and enjoys Blue Flag status. Washed by the Atlantic, this coast benefits from a tide which helps to clean the beaches and is slightly cooler in summer than the Costa del Sol.
