Lluis Higini Melero Peris 10 months ago

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.

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.

Miguel Lorenzo 2 years ago

Positive experience: Playa enorme con bastante viento y oleaje. La gente pasea dejando a sus perros sueltos lo que provoca molestias.

malu glez ag 2 years ago

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.

José Eduardo Martín Polo 2 years ago

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

Juan Carlos Fernandez 2 years ago

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: 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: 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.

L AG 6 years ago

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!!

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: 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.

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.
