El Tabla Beach Club is a beachfront chiringuito on Punta Umbría's main beach, on the sand in Huelva province. It doubles as a restaurant and cocktail bar with sunbeds, umbrellas and outdoor seating facing the Atlantic.
Punta Umbría's beach club scene has more to choose from if this isn't quite your style.
The vibe is casual and trendy. Cocktails are the main draw here, and the wine list gets consistent praise. Live music runs on select nights, and the place stays open until 2am on weekdays, stretching to 4am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Prices sit at €€, and reviewers note it's a touch pricey for the area. The beachfront location and sunset views are the justification. Reservations are recommended for lunch and dinner, and parking is usually difficult, so allow extra time.
