Positive experience: The beach is quite clean; ideal for going with children due to the calm waves and depth of the waters; many beach bars where you can eat (caution: read reviews before choosing one, mainly to avoid unhealthy little fish); magnificent promenade; extraordinary accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
Fantastic experience: Extensive and very calm beach. Several places to eat. Parking available.
Fantastic experience: Good beach and good atmosphere! The bad thing is the lack of parking for the vehicle.
Fantastic experience: There is nearby parking, and the beach is very clean.

Positive experience: Bueno siempre se habla desde la experiencia, la playa es muy amplia tiene chiringuitos, duchas, baños, es bastante limpia en general, hay rescatistas y policía haciendo guardia, no sé permiten mascotas. Lo que no me gustó es que hay muchas algas apenas entras al agua pero solo hasta unos 10 metros de distancia luego ya no hay, eso y que el agua es algo turbia para mí gusto, como punto a favor no hay oleaje fuerte por qué es tan muy bien para quedarse un rato agradable, hubo un poco de viento fuerte pero nada que no pase en un playa. Agrego que hay 2 parkings publicos y también hay una zona escampada cerca si no quieres pagar.
Negative experience: During the week it's fine, it's a nice and family-friendly beach, but on Saturdays all the years of punishment accumulate in the sand. If you want a beach where you can be quiet on a Saturday, tonight is not it. There are no showers, the bins are insufficient, parking in the whole area is impossible, and to make matters worse, you have to deal with the 'canis' from all the surrounding provinces walking around with their portable speakers blaring while drinking in public. The police ignore the situation. We found a turd floating in the water.
Positive experience: Buena playa. Poca o ninguna vigilancia: he visto juegos de pelota, perros. Señores y señoras fumadoras enterrando las colillas en la arena.
Fantastic experience: Sinceramente es una playa que apetece. Por su amplitud cosa que con el COVID nos hace falta sentir la naturaleza por su parque natural los toruños, fácil aparcamiento tanto para familias, personas con algún tipo de discapacidad o caravanas. Hay una amplia zona de restaurantes, tiendas para comprar alimentación como “Carrefur o día”, hoteles y tiendas baratas para comprar cosillas “chinos”. Hay cuarto de baños y parques tanto para perros como para niños.
Fantastic experience: Si puedes alquilar allí con piscina vas a estar genial el ambiente es muy familiar. Ypuedes caminar muuuucho, y pasear por el paseo. Los perros no se permiten y no hay alimentacion especial sin lactosa ni gluten.

Positive experience: very large beach of fine white sand. It is an ideal beach for walking and there is always space.
Fantastic experience: Excellent sand, serene and family-friendly domestic tourism, don't change that!!!
Negative experience: Lots of seaweed, very dirty, there are no showers even to wash the sand off your feet and the trash bins are full with garbage bags on the ground.
Fantastic experience: Lots of space, fine sand, beach bars, parking is always available in the surroundings...
Negative experience: Large beach with fine sand, there are no showers or foot washes, the sand is a bit dirty with cigarette butts, plastics, and many broken shells that you step on, the water was not clean either, it had foam that stayed on the shore, that’s what you get for being surrounded by ports, boats, and factories.

Fantastic experience: La playa más larga del Puerto, lugar ideal para largos paseos, paseando por la zona de los toruños. Los restaurantes están hasta arriba casi todos los fines de semana, o vas temprano o reservas, sino no comes
Positive experience: a nice place to walk, swim, run, and stroll. There are plenty of places to buy things, beach bars, all of this in the summer season. I went at the end of the season and it seems like everything is for me, hee hee. The shops and beach bars are all closed, so I enjoyed the walk along the beach and its views of Cádiz and its bridge, all full of palm trees and apartment buildings on the other side of the beach next to its magnificent promenade.
Positive experience: The beach is quite clean; ideal for going with children due to the calm waves and depth of the waters; many beach bars where you can eat (caution: read reviews before choosing one, mainly to avoid unhealthy little fish); magnificent promenade; extraordinary accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
Fantastic experience: Family beach, with many restaurants for all tastes and affordable shops.
Fantastic experience: For me, this beach is great with many beach bars right on the shore.

Fantastic experience: Buena playa amplia ancha de arena muy fina color claro. El agua habitualmente en verano a una temperatura ideal , con pocas olas o de poca altura, ideal para ir con niños. Al ser una playa con mucho espacio de arena admite mucha gente. Los paseos por la mañana temprano o a última hora de la tarde se hacen especialmente agradables. Hay varios chiringuitos y hay varios puestos de socorristas así como diferentes atracciones para la diversión de los visitantes. Además está playa tiene buena accesibilidad. Hay una zona especial para personas con dificultades. Tambien es un puesto de primeros auxilios. La playa dispone incluso de megafonía para informar y avisar a los usuarios de cuánto sea necesario. En las zonas aledañas a las urbanizaciones hay varias bolsas de aparcamientos bastante amplias aunque insuficiente para los meses de aglomeraciones de vacaciones
Fantastic experience: Estupenda playa en el Puerto de Santa María. Todos los servicios a tu disposición. Socorristas, aseos, acceso a la playa para personas con minusvalía, etc.
Positive experience: Muchos vendores ambulantes sin mascarillas La playa siempre llena de algas y lo que no es algas Seguridad cero Todo el mundo apretado Y vigilancia no he visto Ni banderas Ni socorrista He estado en otras como las de rota, y genial Una pena que valdelagrana este así Estuvimos 2 horas
Negative experience: Le ha picado a mi hija de 6 años una medusa hoy a las 16:00. El socorrista no aparecía por ningún lado, el puesto de socorro cerrado. La solución salir de la playa e ir a la farmacia. La playa con bandera verde hasta las 18:00 no se han dignado de cambiar la bandera que fue cuando el socorrista dio señales de vida. DE VERGÜENZA.
Positive experience: Zona 10 de la playa de Valdelagrana. Playa inmensa, aguas templadas. Arena fina. En esta zona (valdelagrana 10) la entrada al agua mucho más limpia que si te vas a números mas bajos, donde te encuentras muchísimas conchas rotas y pequeñas en la entrada al mar. Los días que estuvimos el agua tenía una temperatura buenísima y aunque había bandera verde también le acompañaba la bandera blanca de medusas. Entonces el baño se hace con más reparo. No todos los días ha estado la bandera de medusas. Le pongo un 4 porque realmente hay poca infraestructura para la cantidad de gente que van a estas playas. 1 ducha a la salida y 1 lavapies. 1 puesto de socorrista en muchos metros. 1 chiringuito. Con la cantidad de gente que va se necesitan más duchas, ya que se forman colas. En estas playas también es muy típico encontrar muchos puestos ambulantes de bebidas, patatas, frutas, camarones.... Justo al salir de la playa si tienes mucha zona de restauración y para pasear de noche, puestos y alguna que otra atracción para los peques.

Fantastic experience: Muy buena playa, sin olas, poco profunda, limpia. Si quieres ponerse un moreno más rápido de lo habitual es tu sitio. Ya que hay más aire que un una playa normal. Por eso hay zona de kitesurfing.

Positive experience: No sé qué ha pasado con esta playa pero desde un par de años atrás está muy sucia y no la recuerdo así, agua turbia, plásticos, papeles,colillas,cáscaras de pipas en la orilla y arena, te pones a pasear por la orilla y tienes que ir esquivando cosas. Al ser una playa a la que van todos los autobuses debería tener mejor mantenimiento, luego te vas a la playa de la victoria en Cádiz y siendo una playa urbana el agua y la arena están súper limpias.

Negative experience: Lots of seaweed, very dirty, there are no showers even to wash the sand off your feet and the trash bins are full with garbage bags on the ground.
Negative experience: The beach is dirty, full of plastics, cigarette butts, and sharp broken glass. It is not peaceful at all. There are also no showers or footbaths. The water is super hot and there are jellyfish. The wind blows every day, and when there is a levante, it is unbearable. Today there were feces in the water. To get to other beaches or move around, you need a car; public transport is 20 minutes away with no shade. I do not recommend this beach for a summer vacation.
