Barrosa Beach

Fantastic experience: La Barrosa is a wide, spacious beach – even in the afternoon when it gets a bit busier, there’s still plenty of room to relax. The water here is noticeably cleaner compared to Cádiz, and unlike in Sancti Petri, you don’t have to deal with as many rocks or uneven ground. Parking is mostly on large paid lots, but if you head left near the lifeguard tower, you can actually park for free on the sand. A great spot for a beach day! Along the beach, you’ll also find plenty of vendors walking by. Many sell clothes, accessories, or small items, and prices are usually negotiable. There are also food carts offering tasty snacks, which is perfect if you don’t want to leave the beach. One large stand sells simple churro-style tubes and even a Nutella-filled roll (delicious, though a bit pricey at €3). Another vendor walks around shouting “coco!” and offers fresh coconut treats – €1 each. While you can buy larger packs in shops for the same price, it’s still a fun little indulgence right on the beach.

Positive experience: Beautiful beach and good direct access, but on a summer day it is crowded.

Positive experience: The beach is incredibly beautiful. There is actually nothing bad to report. From September onwards, there are fewer people at the beach, plenty of parking nearby, and you can swim in the water. It is very idyllic. What bothers me: Today, for example, there is an old couple sitting to my left in sun chairs. The grandma is yelling into her phone and there is very loud and screechy yelling back. This has been going on for a while. Additionally, it makes pling and plong from her device. I don't want to hear any of that. I feel completely alone in the world right now. Is it just me thinking this way, or are others suffering with me? Why is she doing this? Does she have nerves like steel cables? Is grandma deaf? Grandpa seems to think it's great how it screeches from her phone. What is wrong with grandma?

Positive experience: Overcrowded and hard to park. Not worth it. Go to playa del Puerco which is much much better

Fantastic experience: A great long and wide beach. The weather wasn't so great, and we were almost alone in a vast area. Even in nice weather, you can always find a quiet spot if you move away from the hustle and bustle!!! You can swim well because it doesn't drop steeply at the shore. Long beach walks are also possible :-)

Fantastic experience: Great for going with dogs!!

Fantastic experience: A very beautiful and extensive beach. Somewhat crowded in certain stretches starting from the second half of July. Past the promenade at the height of Atenas, perfect for watching the sunset. There are some interesting beach bars to have a beer. There is a small stretch at the end of this beach that allows dogs, the rest is prohibited.

Negative experience: After achieving low influx of dogs and eliminating beach speakers and loud music from the beach bars, there is a need for regulations against jet skis and motorized paragliders. Apart from not being sports, they emit a great deal of noisy and unbearable acoustic pollution and should not be allowed due to this and the insecurity on the beaches. I hope this will be the case and that next year we can truly enjoy the coastal area in this beautiful setting. From Santi Petri to Trafalgar.

Fantastic experience: It is one of the best beaches I have known. The sand is fine and doesn't sink, it's great for walking. You just have to be patient if the east wind blows.

Negative experience: Excellent beach if it wasn't for the dog owners who let dogs foul on the beach and don't pick up the mess. My son stepped on one and he had to be vaccinated. Avoid

Fantastic experience: An ideal beach with fine sand and all the amenities at your fingertips, there are public restrooms and showers, on the promenade you can choose from a variety of restaurants and some beach bars.

Fantastic experience: Great lifeguard team from the Red Cross, always attentive and willing to help. A beach frequented by people with good environmental education, not like the 3 stones in Chipiona. Hehe

Fantastic experience: Huge beach with white sand bathed by the waters of the Atlantic.

Positive experience: Oh my God... this is not a beach, this is an anthill. The sand is good, the water is cold.

Fantastic experience: A great beach to go with family, swim safely, and sunbathe peacefully without disturbances, with a line of restaurants where you can eat and return to the beach.

Fantastic experience: Playa en zona residencial, con arena y aguas muy limpias. Tiene servicios de socorristas, policía, servicios públicos, limpieza diaria, baño asistido de la Cruz Roja para personas con movilidad reducida. Tiene paseo marítimo y en el arenal que es amplio, hay además zonas para prácticas deportivas como voley playa. Además de numerosos bares y chiringuitos y juegos para niños. Destacaría también las buenas vistas del Castillo de Sancti Petri. Los fines de semana se llena pero tiene algunos aparcamientos públicos gratuitos por eso es mejor llegar antes de las 10-11 de la mañana.

Fantastic experience: The best beach that has ever existed in the entire universe, everyone loves this beach, the only bad thing that could happen to you are the narco-boats, or the water tornados that almost killed me by the way, thanks to the jet ski man for saving me and my friend, we love you and hope you have a good future.

Fantastic experience: It's nice how they take care of it. Excellent job by maintenance, surveillance, and cleaning services.

Fantastic experience: A beach that I loved, I was amazed by the public restrooms. Clean, tidy, in perfect condition for the use and enjoyment of people. It seems they are cleaned every half hour. It's true that the day I was there, it wasn't very sunny and there weren't many people, but I liked seeing them so clean and being able to use them without any problem. A 10 to those who dedicate themselves to cleaning them.

Fantastic experience: Toller weitläufiger Strand. sehr gut zum Standup paddeln oder bei niedrigen Wellen zum surfen lernen. schulen sind gut und günstig. In der Querstrasse zum Strand lauter toller Bars und Restaurants und in 15km Reichweite die Stadt Cadiz voller Geschichte und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Gegen ist für Strand und Kultur gleichermaßen geeignet.

Fantastic experience: Playa muy ancha, con mucho aparcamiento e ideal para deportes de agua como ski,surf,windsurf ...etc

Positive experience: Playa muy amplia, con un paseo marítimo amplio. Ideal para pasear, correr, jugar a las palas hacer surf . Hay duchas y megafonía avisando de la prohibición de bañarse con bandera roja! La única pega que hay algunas cacas de perros, que algunos dueños no quitan.

Fantastic experience: Es una playa genial para practicar surf.Ideal en primavera u otoño ya que no esta muy masificada. Los restaurantes del paseo geniales.

Fantastic experience: Playa muy cómoda, ideal para ir con niños pequeños.... Es una playa muy extensa de unos 14 km aproximadamente, y 5 de ellos conforme una de las playas urbanas más extensas con bandera azul. No encontraras las aglomeraciones de otras playas, aunque siempre recomiendo evitar fines de semanas, puentes y fiestas.... Encuentras aparcamiento, claro está con el gorrillas uniformado y de una asociación, 1€....pero que tampoco se lo curran, ni te ayudan con el aparcamiento. Eso si, solo por estar ahí con el calor, le das el euro...están en las horas punta después desaparecen. La distancia a la playa desde el aparcamiento unos 100 metros o menos.. Los accesos son amplios y algunos de madera y otros de obra en ocasiones un poco empinados, los dos que utilizamos no tenían zona para minusválidos, eso sí en la zona de Loma de Sancti Petri, debajo de la torre, había una carretera que llega hasta la playa sin problema... Está muy bien vigilada por multitud de puestos de socorristas, con embarcaciones ligeras, quart... Encuentras aseos y duchas, cerca de cada chiringuito, que para respetar movimiento de las dunas, y agua está construido sobre pilones y en alto, muy buena idea, y buenas vistas... recomiendo el Albatros...hay bastantes chiringuitos en toda la playa, y están muy bien integrados. Modernos, limpios y profesionales, junto a estos encontrarás servicio de tumbonas y sombrillas e incluso masajes... también encontrarás bastantes hoteles de 4 y 5 estrellas, además de bien integrados y escalonados entre los pinares. Desde lo alto de los acantilados, tienes muy buenas vistas a toda la playa desde cualquier punto al resto de playa y a isla con castillo de Sancti Petri...ideal para ver la migraciones y paso de aves, en temporada!. Ideal para practicar bicicleta ya que hay carril bici, junto a carretera y tramos por los acantilados. El agua limpia, y la playa cuidada! Y no te puedes perder puesta de sol!!! Recomiendo juegos con cometas.... Volveremos, sin duda alguna!!!

Fantastic experience: Great and spacious family and tourist beach, it has hotels, shops, beach bars, diverse bars and restaurants, well maintained, beach services with toilets and showers, very clean and cared for, there are lifeguard surveillance and civil protection, local police surveillance on the beach itself, it has information, public address system and various informative signage, with a children's park and play areas.

Fantastic experience: Playa amplia de arena, el baño es muy bueno no hay rocas,la temperatura buenisima ademas cuenta con mucha diversidad de restaurantes y bares.Una experiencia agradable

Positive experience: Gran extensión de playa dorada con espectaculares puestas de sol pero en agosto los 7 km de playa están masificados. Para comer hay una gran variedad y diferencia en precios. Probar venta del pino que se come bien y es barato. Mejicano 3 sombreros muy bueno al igual que el indú. Marisqueo bueno pero algo caro. Puestecillos todos iguales poco variados, se echa en falta más diversidad

Fantastic experience: Simplemente espectacular. En Cádiz hay muchas playas preciosas pero La Barrosa es especial. Para todos los gustos, con todos los servicios, amplia, agua limpia con cierto oleaje para divertir a los peques con las olas... En pleno paseo con parking accesible. Es nuestra preferida.

Fantastic experience: Es una playa ubicada en Chiclana de la frontera, con todos sus servicios y zonas delimitadas para ocupación de los bañistas, además de tener duchas tiene aseos limpios y provistos. El estacionamiento tiene un aparcamiento para muchos coches. Si bien hay que bajar ( y subir ) más de cien escalones, no apto por lo que vi para minusválidos, es una larga extensión de playa con un cierto oleaje con resaca hacia el este, diferente al calmo Mediterráneo, pero es muy divertida y un poco fría que se pasa enseguida. Si tienes intención de asistir a almorzar al chiringuito al pie de los escalones hay que reservar temprano debido al aforo actual nosotros no conseguimos almorzar allí. No hay demasiado viento del que preocuparse por las sombrillas. Muy recomendable.

Fantastic experience: Es un lugar increible y tranquila. El templo de Hercules es lo que más me gusta y se puede llegar hasta andando al templo cuando la marea está baja sin necesitar un kayak.
