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.

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.

Cristina Navas Aguilar 2 years ago

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.

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.

Víctormmc 2 years ago

Positive experience: Playa con poca gente, chiringuitos cerca, pero arena con granos bastante grandes que molestan al andar, pocas olas.

Ignacio Pérez Puertas 2 years ago

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?

Patricia Hernández 3 years ago

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€.

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. La playa es una larga extensión de arena dorada con grava, que ofrece mucho espacio para tomar el sol, nadar y relajarse. La vista del océano desde la playa es simplemente impresionante. La playa también es perfecta para los entusiastas de los deportes acuáticos, con muchas actividades disponibles como surf, remo y windsurf. En general, la playa de Sancti Petri es un destino de visita obligada, porque no está llena de gente y es muy pequeña, para cualquiera que viaje a la zona. Es el lugar perfecto para relajarse y tomar el sol, y las aguas cristalinas lo hacen ideal para nadar y practicar deportes acuáticos. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente a cualquiera que busque una experiencia hermosa y tranquila en la playa.

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.

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.

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.
