La Barrosa Beach
Playa de la Barrosa
A golden sand beach about 8 km long, located roughly 25 km south of Cádiz in Chiclana. The waters are calm, and it is considered one of Spain’s most beautiful beaches.
La Barrosa Beach belongs to Chiclana de la Frontera. It stretches for about 8 km with fine golden sand. The water is shallow and the waves are gentle, making it good for family swimming. The northern end is the fishing village of Sancti Petri, and the southern end is the resort hotel area of Nueva Sancti Petri. Pine forests and a golf course lie behind the beach. In summer, many beach bars line the sand, and at sunset you can see the silhouette of Sancti Petri Castle out on the sea. It is about a 30-minute drive from Cádiz, and buses run from the city in summer.
