Cordón Dunar de Chipiona

The Cordón Dunar de Chipiona goes from the Playa de Camarón beach to the Playa de las Tres Piedras.

It is composed of dunes that act as reservoirs for the sand that feeds our beaches. Across all their length they are also home to flora that is both interesting and really adapted to the inhospitable conditions created by the salinity of the sea. At the same time, this vegetation serves as a refuge for a large number of birds, which they cross the strait to their wintering quarters. Reptiles find that this is a perfect habitat for their survival: snakes, lizards, ocellated lizards, skinks, with a special mention for the common chameleon one of over eighty species of chamaleonidae distributed worldwide.

In Chipiona, there is still a considerable population, making it a pioneer with regard to protection. Local residents take the responsibility of respecting and protecting one of the municipality's ecological icons. Its original features include changing colour, eyes that view independently (stereoscopic vision), catching insects with a tongue that is just about as long as their body and really fast when it 'shoots out' to catch insects.
