Municipality which comprises a coastal strip in the southwest of the province, including, among others, the centres of population of Aguadulce, El Parador, Las Marinas, Urbanizacion and Las Salinas. Part of an area, the Punta Entinas-Sabinar Nature Reserve, a complex of dunes, beaches and lakes.

Much of its land is dedicated to intensive greenhouse farming, but its most important activity is the "sun and beach" type of tourism, having become the most important tourist resort in the province with first class centres such as Aguadulce, la Urbanizacion or even Roquetas, thanks to its well-looked after, clean beaches and suitable services and installations.
