Fantastic experience: It was one of the planned visits during our stay on the Gaditan coast, a beach with a length of 3 km and about 70 m wide. We were lucky to park the vehicle nearby, so with our things under our arm, we went to enjoy a while at this place with fine sand and crystal clear water. We had good feelings.
Positive experience: I like it. Fine sand, paid parking at the entrance of the beach although it's not mandatory, clean waters, and beach bars. Paradise.
Fantastic experience: Carmen beach is a paradise in the province of Cádiz! It's not very crowded and you have beach bars and restaurants nearby. Parking can be a bit more complicated if you go too late, but it's worth going early to spend the whole day there.
Negative experience: Very crowded, the beach is narrow, there are no toilets (only in cafes), inconvenient parking.
Fantastic experience: Excellent beach. White and super fine sand with clear water and almost no slope. It is so extensive that you can enjoy it in solitude or intimacy as well as with some public. Beach bars of very good quality and good atmosphere. If you want to swim in the most crowded area, which is in the village area, you have difficulty parking unless you go early.

Positive experience: Playa muy buena en ambientes, clima, mar limpio limpio pero con un fallo importante. Dejan entrar mascotas y la verdad veo antihigiénico q los animales estén entre las personas, con posibilidad de q se caguen o meen y mucho peor si no te gustan los animales como a mí. Para mi le quita más de la mitad de mis puntos. Por ese motivo no volveré.
Positive experience: Playa enorme con bastante viento y oleaje. La gente pasea dejando a sus perros sueltos lo que provoca molestias.
Fantastic experience: La playa es muy amplia y el color del mar espectacular, alternando tonos de azul y turquesa. Agua cristalina cuando la mar no está revuelta. Muy buen ambiente, hay partes más masificadas y otras menos, aunque para llegar a estas últimas hay que andar un poquito o coger el coche. Buena zona para pasear con los perros a las horas permitidas.
Fantastic experience: Excelente, una de las mejores de Cádiz y España sin duda, hay pocas igual. Los paseos por la marea baja durante la mañana son ideales para disfrutarlos... Ideales para perros en cuanto se sale de la zona del pueblo, kms y kms hasta Barbate para disfrutar con ellos
Positive experience: Playa bonita y amplia con buenos servicios en la zona del Zapal, y aunque vaya empeorando con los años por suciedad en la arena y masificación con andar unos kilómetros puedes llegar a zonas más tranquilas. Los perros no están permitidos, pero tenemos zonas donde se puede estar sin problema.

Fantastic experience: Giant beaches in winter, total relaxation, the village is quiet, fine sand, super clean and transparent sea, I love it
Fantastic experience: It's a very large beach, and the sand is very fine and clear. It has a blue flag. It's one of my favorite beaches in Cádiz.
Negative experience: This morning was very good but in the afternoon there was way too much wind. The sand blows very hard. We had to leave, what a pity.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful beach with fine sand and clear waters. It has lifeguard stations, beach bars, and sunbed rentals. It is accessible from the urban center. If desired, long walks can be taken towards Barbate. After crossing the Cachón River, nudism can be practiced without issues.
Fantastic experience: Excellent beach, with sunset, vacationing with family, possibility to do wind sports, it's a little more expensive in restaurants than in other places in Spain.

Fantastic experience: Una pasada, extensión, sus aguas, su arena. Como muchas de las playas de Conil, Barbate, Zahara, sigo sin entender la falta de información a pie de playa., tema perros, penoso, no se recomendó las vacas, y di lo hacen, dejan la bolsita por las piedras. No se sabe dónde hay o no socorristas,.... Ayer sábado 25 de junio, a las 17,20,por el medio de la playa aparecieron 5 quads, a toda mecha. Jueves y viernes dos esqueletos de peces seguinos podré viendo en la arena. Por favor no se les escape a los ayuntamientos tantísimos detalles.
Positive experience: Playa superbonita con múltiples chiringuitos. Merece la pena totalmente. No le doy un 5 por la falta de seguridad y por la cantidad de personas que llevan a sus perros sueltos.
Fantastic experience: Playa limpia agradable con muchos socorristas, lo mejor es que admiten animales en el mes de septiembre al haber menos cantidad de gente!! Me encanta esta playa!!

Positive experience: Very beautiful beach
Fantastic experience: Their sunsets and their beach bars!!!
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach with few people
Fantastic experience: Stunning, fine sand, fewer people than the city beaches if you take the trouble to walk a bit and the cattle that come in the late afternoon
Fantastic experience: I love this beach. I've been here twice and it's always different. Many people stay overnight near the city and there are no prohibitions to mention. I always stay at the paying camper van park, but it's large with included services and right next to the beach. I highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Spain
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach that is becoming less and less pristine and is starting to be somewhat dirty.
Fantastic experience: Crystal clear water, very beautiful views, we loved it
Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful places to spend the day

Negative experience: Very crowded, the beach is narrow, there are no toilets (only in cafes), inconvenient parking.

Fantastic experience: Jedna z nejhezčích pláži jižního Španělska. Je počítat s velkým větrem, který tu je pořád.
Fantastic experience: Mi eterno paraíso
Fantastic experience: La mejor puesta de sol del mundo. Sin ninguna duda.
Fantastic experience: Una de las playas más bonitas que he visto en mi vida, no hay nada, sólo naturaleza y belleza, 100% recomendable.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular, calm, it's perfect for relaxing.
Positive experience: Beaches with plenty of space and no stress. Recurrent visits during and off season.
Fantastic experience: This is one of my favorite beaches in this area. Even on a windy day, this place is beautiful. You can walk for miles (about 5 to 6 miles) and the blue sea, the waves, and the beaches are wonderful.
Fantastic experience: Very long beach. From Cap Plata to the Barbate River, there are about 10 uninterrupted kilometers of fine sand, crystal clear and shallow waters. The beach is known by different names depending on the area (Cañadillo Beach, Willis, Azahara, Pajares, and Cabo de la Plata). At the end of May, the beach was practically deserted. Ideal for long walks in peace and tranquility.
Fantastic experience: What a beautiful place
Fantastic experience: Amazing
Positive experience: Charming beach

Positive experience: One of the vastest beaches.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful experience staying on this kilometer-long beach. The sea is very clear and clean. Due to its length and width, it seems there are not many people even though there are actually quite a lot. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful beach
Positive experience: Very beautiful
Negative experience: If you like the smell of manure, you will feel very comfortable there.
Fantastic experience: I was at several beaches in Cádiz a couple of months ago, and Zahara de los Atunes was my favorite.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Andalusia for me. Super smooth sand and crystal clear water.
Negative experience: I think it's a rip-off to pay 8 euros to park the car in a public place like a beach, where we spent 5 hours, in the full sun and on the sand. The beach is clean but nothing special, it has nothing to envy of the others.
Fantastic experience: Excellent beach, with sunset, vacationing with family, possibility to do wind sports, it's a little more expensive in restaurants than in other places in Spain.
Fantastic experience: Spectacular beach, endless for long walks. The waves are somewhat strong, but the water is very clean. The sunsets are spectacular.
Fantastic experience: One of the best beaches in Spain. Period.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful atmosphere and nature.
