La Fontanilla, Cadiz
Definitely, one of the most popular beach for Spanish families, offering great parking and decent restaurants close by, we recommend this beach if you are looking for mingling with the locals. Though bustling with people, the large stretches of soft and delicate sand guarantee that you’ll have your own little area on the sand. We recommend getting a beach ball to toss around inside the water as the level is shallow and you would need to walk quite a bit to become fully immersed.

Cala de Aceite, Cadiz
This beach is one of the highest ranked beaches in Spain and for good reason!

Even though this area is known to be windy, the surrounding cliffs protect this secret spot from the strong winds and instead give you a light, gentle breeze to cool you down.
If you are interested in camping, then this is a great option for you. As you may be tired after the long beach day, you will find it suitable that there is a camping spot right next to the beach.
