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! Unspoiled landscapes and picturesque scenery fuse together to create a calm hidden beach cove surrounded by lush green forestry and patches of fine golden sand. If that’s not enough, the jewelled turquoise water glistens and shimmers in the sun, you feel as if you’re swimming in a sea of gems. 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. Equipped with onsite bathrooms, a supermarket and even a restaurant, the camping site here has everything you need.

Caños de Meca, Cadiz
Situated deep within the Acantilado Natural Park are the beaches of Canos de Meca. Picture yourself absorbing the sun while the waves gently caress your feet. The perched cliffs adorned with pine trees tower over the shores giving you a cool breeze and some natural shade. This area is also frequented by water sports enthusiasts and especially windsurfers.
History fan? Not a problem! To the north west of the town, is the famous Cape Trafalgar, which is the lighthouse that protected the town’s beaches and ships. This is probably one of the world’s most famous landmarks because it was here that the battle of Trafalgar was fought in 1805.
Go grab a bite at the ‘El Pirata’ restaurant which overlooks the beach and offers excellent seafood dishes. After the sun has long set and when the warm evening hours ride along, all the beach bars turn into cool local discos offering an unprecedented local partying experience. Also, for those interested, you may or may not find a nude beach here! You’ve been warned. Join us for our Beach Day and just relax while we take you out and about.
