Positive experience: Spiaggia sull’Oceano Atlantico molto ampia e spaziosa completamente libera e con comodi servizi pubblici lungo la strada retrostante. Dove è possibile parcheggiare gratuitamente. Paesaggio suggestivo e ambiente molto selvaggio. Nonostante la presenza di infrastrutture di orientamento per la navigazione e acqua non totalmente cristallina. Infatti la spiaggia è a ridosso di un canale di accesso verso il retroterra di Cadice. Unico rimpianto, non trattenersi fino al tramonto per godere certamente di un fantastico panorama accompagnato da un buon aperitivo sulla spiaggia.
Positive experience: Sancti Petri beach, near the Castillo, is easy to reach and parking is free – you can usually stop right by the road without any trouble. Compared to La Barrosa, the beach here is much rockier, so it’s not as smooth underfoot. On the other hand, it’s quieter and you won’t find vendors walking along the sand, which makes it more peaceful. At the far end, there’s also a dedicated dog-friendly section of the beach, so it’s a nice spot if you want to bring your pet along.
Positive experience: Der Strand hier ist eher etwas kleiner, nicht sehr groß, da er auch nicht so überlaufen. Parkplätze kosten hier nichts Für Kinder ebenfalls geeignet, man kann hier Banana Boot fahren. Strand wird bewacht.
Fantastic experience: Ist nicht so große dafür auch nicht zu überlaufen. Keine Gastronomie genug freie Parkplätze.
Fantastic experience: Good for parking and for people with reduced mobility since you walk very little.

Negative experience: Playa dejada por el ayuntamiento, sin vigilancia ni presencia policial, donde los perros campan a sus anchas y nadie hace nada por impedirlo a pesar de estar prohibido teniendo una zona delimitada para perros a pocos metros. Esto la ha convertido en una playa sucia e insalubre, no la recomiendo si no te gusta que los animales hagan sus necesidades donde juegan tus hijos.
Fantastic experience: Fuimos a la parte de perros y bastante bien
Negative experience: Hemos ido por la mañana temprano a una zona apartada de rocas a dar un paseo con nuestra perra y nos ha parado la policía. Nos han dicho que no hay NINGUNA playa que permita perros. Hemos venido aquí una semana a pasar las vacaciones con nuestra mascota y nos dicen esto el primer día. Desde luego primer y último año que pisamos Cádiz. No es un destino para familias con mascotas. Nos tratan como apestados, de los peores sitios en Andalucia para ir con perro.

Positive experience: Very nice beach, lovely family atmosphere, very good food options, I expected it to surprise me a little more, but in comparison I liked the sea and sand of other beaches like Bolonia a little more, for example. Nevertheless, it is an excellent place that I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal beach in Cádiz to spend a few days, calm beaches with fine sand. There is nearby parking. An incredible place to watch the sunset.
Fantastic experience: Beach with little waves and wind with sandbanks at low tides
Positive experience: This beach might rate more stars if it weren't so close to a much cleaner beach, La Barrosa. There's a lot of dusty dirt and plant debris (seaweed?) mixed with the beach's sand.

Fantastic experience: Una playa buenísima con chiringuito y puerto deportivo genial
Positive experience: Playa con poca gente, chiringuitos cerca, pero arena con granos bastante grandes que molestan al andar, pocas olas.
Fantastic experience: Una pasada, playa enorme de arena fina, por mucha gente que haya no vas a tener sensación de masificación dado su tamaño Esta rodeada de dunas y los hoteles que hay alrededor las respetan casi siempre, también hay un montón de chiringuitos en los que tomarte algo fresquito, eso si, prepara la billetera porque baratos no son En definitiva, sitio idílico. Cadiz, que os voy a contar?
Negative experience: Playa estupenda, las bebidas de el kiosco sobre ruedas Santos son a 2'50€ cerveza y 2'50 agua de 50cl el chiringuito bien puesto te sirven en mesa y vaso de cristal bien fresquito 3€.
Fantastic experience: Playa grande, familiar, con grandes vistas, chiringuito y duchas, muy tranquila y zonas para aparcar.

Fantastic experience: Playa tranquila e ideal para deportes acuáticos, por la tarde con la subida de la marea complicado, menos mal que hay un servicio de socorristas estupendo.
Negative experience: Playa de fácil acceso de aparcamiento. La playa es amplia pero tiene muchísimas piedras pequeñas y está un poco sucia. Hay servicio de socorristas.
Fantastic experience: Esta playa es una maravilla, es grande, puedes evitar aglomeraciones si te buscas un buen sitio. En bajamar se puede dar un gran paseo pasando por todas las calas de Cabo roche... Tiene buenos chiringuitos en la playa. Posibilidad de coger olas con buenas condiciones. Buena vigilancia por parte de los socorristas

Fantastic experience: The beach was quiet, the weather was nice, and the water was great.
Positive experience: A beach with many rocks on the edge and in the water, water is somewhat clear.
Negative experience: Everything is full of shell fragments, horrible, you can't get in the water because there are huge rocks, you get hurt on your feet. I won't come back.
Fantastic experience: The water is salty.
Negative experience: A beautiful place, which would be even more so if you didn't leave your cigarette butts everywhere. It's a 10 out of 10 spot, but I'm giving it a 1 to see if people become aware and respect the environment. In 200 meters of beach, I was able to collect 841 cigarette butts... a reminder of YOUR vacation. It looks immaculate, but... tourism is a plague.

Fantastic experience: I was absolutely impressed with its natural beauty and water. The beach is a long stretch of golden sand with gravel, which offers plenty of space for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxing. The view of the ocean from the beach is simply breathtaking. The beach is also perfect for water sports enthusiasts, with plenty of activities available like surfing, paddle-boarding, and windsurfing. Overall, Sancti Petri Beach is a must-visit destination, because it's not full of people and very small, for anyone traveling to the area. It's the perfect place to unwind and soak up the sun, and the clear waters make it ideal for swimming and water sports. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, peaceful beach experience. _____ Me quedé absolutamente impresionado con su belleza natural y el agua.

Fantastic experience: Nice beach, I don't recommend going until 6 if you're not well prepared. After six it starts to get windy and the sea gets a bit rough. To have fun, I recommend renting a kayak or doing some activity.

Fantastic experience: GREAT BEACH FOR RELAXING.
Fantastic experience: Ideal beach for walking, calm, spectacular sunset
Positive experience: A very quiet and beautiful beach to be and have a good time with your friends, I will only recommend one thing if you plan to visit this beach, and that is to be careful when swimming in the sea, as there are too many rocks, although that is what characterizes the beach of Sancti Petri. Be careful when swimming in the sea and where you step, I for example ended up with a deep cut on my ankle, and the same on my calf.
Positive experience: Spectacular
Fantastic experience: Like the rest of the beaches in Cádiz, very beautiful
Fantastic experience: One of the beaches, out of all the ones you can enjoy in the area. Incredible.
Negative experience: If you want tranquility, it is fine; usually, you can park well in August. For swimming, it's not my favorite, but you can take a dip, and if you like water sports, it's the best.
Fantastic experience: Good for parking and for people with reduced mobility since you walk very little.
Fantastic experience: For me, one of the best because there are no waves.
Positive experience: Very nice beach, lovely family atmosphere, very good food options, I expected it to surprise me a little more, but in comparison I liked the sea and sand of other beaches like Bolonia a little more, for example. Nevertheless, it is an excellent place that I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The beach was quiet, the weather was nice, and the water was great.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful for going with family.
Positive experience: A beach with many rocks on the edge and in the water, water is somewhat clear.
Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: A place that captivates you, Santi Petri is always in my thoughts.
Positive experience: It's fine, crowded with people, but it's very spacious.
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal beach in Cádiz to spend a few days, calm beaches with fine sand. There is nearby parking. An incredible place to watch the sunset.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beaches of Cádiz
Negative experience: A beautiful place, which would be even more so if you didn't leave your cigarette butts everywhere. It's a 10 out of 10 spot, but I'm giving it a 1 to see if people become aware and respect the environment. In 200 meters of beach, I was able to collect 841 cigarette butts... a reminder of YOUR vacation. It looks immaculate, but... tourism is a plague.
Fantastic experience: One of my favorite beaches due to its historical setting, possibly the location of the Temple of Hercules in ancient times. A very quiet place to stroll and listen to the waves of the sea. A magical spot.
Positive experience: This beach might rate more stars if it weren't so close to a much cleaner beach, La Barrosa. There's a lot of dusty dirt and plant debris (seaweed?) mixed with the beach's sand.
Fantastic experience: In mid-September it is a luxury to be at this beach, you can park wherever you want and there are hardly any people. Only one negative thing, the water was very dirty with algae, I don't know if it's always like that or due to the currents that day, but the experience was very good.
Fantastic experience: Very calm
Positive experience: Very nice beach, although there is some gravel that is annoying to walk on.
Negative experience: It is a shame that, with free parking available, I couldn't park. Because I travel in a motorhome, I had to park a kilometer away and carry chairs, umbrella, and bags. A disgrace of the town hall.
Positive experience: The beach is nice overall, the water is clean, but the pebbly shore for walking is not the most recommended.
Fantastic experience: Quiet and secluded beach. With the small bay and boats. Really nice!
Fantastic experience: Lovely beach, a very right spot to take some good sunset pictures and also to relax.
