Ayamonte has more foreign tourists than other resorts along the Costa de la Luz in Huelva province, partly due to its closeness to the Algarve and its position as the westernmost resort along the Andalucian coast. The journey from Ayamonte to Faro on the Algarve now takes a mere 45 minutes.
Ayamonte is surrounded by protected areas teeming with wildlife. The Marismas del Guadiana, the marshes of the Guadiana estuary, are rich in birdlife, including herons, storks and flamingos. The nearest beach is the new resort of Isla Canela, five minutes' drive away from the Ayamonte.
The centre is a good place to take a leisurely stroll, as many of its narrow streets are pedestrianised. These streets link small, pretty plazas, which are tucked away but full of busy pavement cafés and bars serving great seafood characteristic of the Huelva Costa de la Luz. Next to the main square, the Paseo de la Ribera, is the harbour and further along is the ferry dock. In the old ayamonte town is the fifteenth-century Iglesia de San Salvador, with its memorable tower with superb views across to Portugal. There are also good views from the tower of the sixteenth-century San Francisco church nearby.
