Fantastic experience: Good beach, we visited the lighthouse, very touristy, good for small cars, market with many souvenir stalls, very beautiful sunset. I recommend
Positive experience: Honestly, I didn't like it. There was a lot of wind, rocky areas on the shore in some parts making swimming difficult, and the sand was very sticky. It takes at least 20 minutes to walk from the parking to a decent area of the beach.
Positive experience: A nice beach to spend some time or the day. I am from Valencia and in the Mediterranean we have very good beaches, but I really liked this one. There are many places nearby to have something to drink or eat, and the views are very good. It is not very crowded, at least when I was there, and the access is quite good. It is a clean beach, well-maintained, and has a good stretch of sand. Highly recommended place.
Fantastic experience: For me, the beach of freedom, where everyone goes as they please and does what they want while respecting each other. However, I return to the same point regarding the channels, which are not beaches for people with reduced mobility due to their difficult access.
Fantastic experience: Ten out of ten beach, affordable parking, clean and spacious

Positive experience: Traumhaftes klares Wasser und schöner Sandstrand. Etwas zu Fuß hat man einen schönen Blick auf den Leuchtturm. Leider ist keine Toilette vorhanden, keine Lifeguards oder Ähnliches. Dadurch werden die hinteren Dünen und Waldränder zum Koten verwendet, was man riecht. Außerdem sind trotz Hunde verboten Schilder etliche Hunde am Strand und baden. Für uns nicht schlimm, sollte man aber wissen. Es gibt einen Hippi Markt in der Nähe und auch einen Parkplatz für 4 Euro pro Tag. Alles in Allem sehr empfehlenswert und schön. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder. Man kann hier auch StandUp Paddeln buchen und Jetskis. Das Wasser ist ruhig und sauber. Natürlich hier und da Plastikabfälle und Seegras, am Strand liegt auch etwas Plastik im Sand, aber für die Maßen an Menschen völlig in Ordnung. Es gibt eine Strandbar am äußeren Rand, wo man grillen und chillen kann. Einfach paradiesisch.
Positive experience: Playa con viento, oleaje y donde los perros son bienvenidos en verano.
Fantastic experience: It is very calm, nice, with beach bars and not much problem to bring pets.
Positive experience: Schöner Strand , leider sehr viele Hunde. Für die Hinterlassenschaften der Hunde im Sand würde ich den Besitzern gerne Messer und Gabel reichen.
Fantastic experience: Una playa infinitamente hermosa , la arena espectacular mis perros se divierten cada vez que vamos mi pareja disfruta mucho de las olas ya que el hace surf ♂️ la recomiendo mucho!!!

Positive experience: A beautiful place, fine sand, clear water, and wonderful views. The downside is that there are stones and you have to dodge them.
Fantastic experience: Very clean beach, perfect for watching a spectacular sunset with the lighthouse in the background. When the tide goes out, you can see rocks with lots of crabs among them.
Fantastic experience: Good beaches with clean sand and clear water. It's not calm water, but it's good for a swim and to explore. We went to the one by the lighthouse.
Negative experience: What a crap beach, if you want to die because the sand stabs you in the eye from the wind, it's perfect.
Negative experience: Beach with little sand, a lot of people, seaweed and stones, a friend got cut while swimming, it's dangerous

Fantastic experience: Paradise is in Cádiz and especially in these capes that God created! Don't miss their restaurants!
Fantastic experience: It is very calm, nice, with beach bars and not much problem to bring pets.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Cádiz without a doubt. It is a quite large stretch of beach with beige sands and turquoise sea. There are beach bars along the beach. I would return without thinking about it.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beaches where you can relax and enjoy their clean and fresh waters. The entire area has services as well as restaurants and bars to grab a drink. In summer, parking in the area can be somewhat complicated, but enjoying the views and the sunsets is well worth it.

Fantastic experience: Awesome beach - loads of kite surfing, beach bar close at hand, reasonable sun beds
Fantastic experience: Preciosa playa , cuando sopla viento hacen kitesurf . Buen acceso y chiringuitos cercanos . El ambiente muy bueno .
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, a paradise for catching waves and surfing
Positive experience: Okay, if you’re into surfing and longboarding, this is one of those places on earth…. But, expect in the water and on the shores: friendly Spanish locals, unfriendly surf hipsters from Norway and Germany. Very crowded line-up. Take your van/gear and head over to a nearby break a bit further…

Positive experience: Piccola spiaggettina dove si può anche fare kite
Positive experience: Playa grande, ideal para kitesurfing, y si tienes mascota, pues está lleno. Cuando fuimos nosotros estaba llena de algas .
Positive experience: Depende de donde pares hay demasiada roca, la parte con más arena suele estar llena de Kites, hay playas más asequibles cerca si lo que buscas es un remojón.

Fantastic experience: Bajaría una estrella por los gorrillas en el aparcamiento, muy cansinos e intimidantes pidiendo dinero. Pero la playa muy guay, y vimos mucha variedad de peces haciendo esnorquel

Fantastic experience: Mi playa preferida desde hace años. La última cala de Caños de Meca, donde te encuentras los chorros famosos que caen del Parque Natural de la Breña, es para mi la playa más mágica y encantadora de todo Cádiz. Cuando vengo a Caños de Meca, me gusta quedarme unos días; siento una conexión con la naturaleza que no he vivido en ningún otro lugar que he conocido. Estoy pasando unos días y todo tiempo aquí se me hace corto, y si hablamos de los restaurantes y mercadillos que se montan, el pescado más fresco y la artesanía más divertida. Si vienes a Cádiz no puedes dejar de conocer esta maravillosa playa, que aunque es gaditana, tiene aromas y embrujo marroquí.

Fantastic experience: Very clean beach, plenty of places to eat and have a drink, recommended.
Positive experience: Beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach in Cádiz. It has been my discovery of this year. There weren't many people, which pleasantly surprised us. You have to be careful with the rocks, but it is one of the few beaches that remains untouched. The views with the Trafalgar lighthouse and the pine mountains in the background are a visual delight.

Fantastic experience: Undisputed place to go to Cádiz
Fantastic experience: I will stay to live
Fantastic experience: Good beach in a wild state. It is one of the few virgin beaches in Andalusia.
Positive experience: Spectacular
Negative experience: Beach with little sand, a lot of people, seaweed and stones, a friend got cut while swimming, it's dangerous
Fantastic experience: The beach of Los Caños de Meca is unparalleled. It has a large area of clean, fine sand, and it also features the Trafalgar Lighthouse, which is a must-visit. An iconic place to go on vacation and spend a day at the beach.

Positive experience: We arrived at 11 thinking it would be full and we were pleasantly surprised that it was almost empty. Since the beach is so large, it's really nice. We went with our dog and honestly, no one gave us any trouble.
Fantastic experience: I wouldn't find enough words to describe all the love I feel for this place and how wonderful it is.
Fantastic experience: Paradisiacal place
Fantastic experience: It is very calm, nice, with beach bars and not much problem to bring pets.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach, a paradise for catching waves and surfing
Negative experience: I went two weeks ago thinking it was a good beach and it was totally disappointing. Full of seaweed, bad smells, and full of flies that you couldn't even lay on the sand for a minute without being covered in flies, so we had to go to the lighthouse beach which was somewhat better.
Positive experience: Less than I expected, but it fulfilled my dream
Fantastic experience: I love this beach, highly recommended!!
Fantastic experience: Very nice place, very clean and if there is something free you can stay without booking.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach in Cádiz, dreamy sunset, great atmosphere
Positive experience: Okay, if you’re into surfing and longboarding, this is one of those places on earth…. But, expect in the water and on the shores: friendly Spanish locals, unfriendly surf hipsters from Norway and Germany. Very crowded line-up. Take your van/gear and head over to a nearby break a bit further…
Fantastic experience: Spectacular
Fantastic experience: Cold water, a lot of wind, a place with a lot of history like the Trafalgar lighthouse. Cádiz is considered one of the oldest cities in Europe and has been inhabited by Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, and Muslims, so its architecture mixes the style of each people that lived there.
Fantastic experience: White sandy beach
Positive experience: Wild
Negative experience: Mission impossible to have a beer because almost all bars only allow sitting at a table for eating.
Positive experience: Good views but I wasn't in the best spot and there were rocks so I couldn't swim.
Fantastic experience: Clear water and good sand.
Fantastic experience: For me, the beach of freedom, where everyone goes as they please and does what they want while respecting each other. However, I return to the same point regarding the channels, which are not beaches for people with reduced mobility due to their difficult access.
Positive experience: Very nice beach to spend a sunny, hot day. Just be careful with the area where you swim, making sure there are no rocks or stones. Other than that, great.
Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Cadiz
Positive experience: Wild beach with few crowds.
Positive experience: Very boring tariff...
Fantastic experience: If you go with the 'levante' wind, you fly away, literally.
Fantastic experience: Very nice beach
Fantastic experience: Like the other beaches in Cádiz, a piece of paradise
Fantastic experience: I always come back!!
Positive experience: Super nice beach, watch out for the waves' tumbles.
Positive experience: Good beach if there isn't much wind
Fantastic experience: Ten out of ten beach, affordable parking, clean and spacious
Fantastic experience: I loved this beach..there are a lot of really cool bars before you enter, everything is very hippie and magical
Positive experience: Virgin beach, with the dunes that characterize it, fine and blonde sand like all of Cádiz, in this area near the lighthouse a piece with rocks, but a large clean piece and a good beach
Fantastic experience: For me, it is the most beautiful beach in Spain. So natural and yet with so much atmosphere. At the end of the beach, there are several beautiful coves that can be accessed from above or from the beach when the tide is low. The water is crystal clear and the sand is fine, although on this occasion it was filled with a lot of seaweed, and with high tide, if the sea is a bit choppy, it is more difficult to swim. Otherwise, at low tide, it is nothing to envy any beach in Menorca or Ibiza. In the cliffs, you can find mud to apply to your skin as a mask.
Positive experience: I loved this beach, I was near the lighthouse. There was plenty of space not to disturb or be disturbed, a calm and pleasant atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Cádiz without a doubt. It is a quite large stretch of beach with beige sands and turquoise sea. There are beach bars along the beach. I would return without thinking about it.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant and scenic, clear and cold water, varied services and hospitality. Beautiful cliff.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beaches where you can relax and enjoy their clean and fresh waters. The entire area has services as well as restaurants and bars to grab a drink. In summer, parking in the area can be somewhat complicated, but enjoying the views and the sunsets is well worth it.
Positive experience: Could be nice but the left hand side of the beach is rocky and has old brickwork and rocks on it so not so good for kids / sunbathing. Go round the corner to Playa Pirata
Fantastic experience: Best beach in the area, the Trafalgar lighthouse is awesome at evenings. The beach on the other side is also great. Must visit
Positive experience: Nice place to surf, if you like it like it was 30 years ago, i.e. no facilities whatsoever... I now prefer places where there is a club, to store your surf, have food and drinks etc.
