Gull Beach

Information

Playa de la Gaviota, located in Isla Cristina, is known for its natural beauty and wide stretch of soft sand. This spot is perfect for a family day out, featuring amenities such as lifeguards, beach bars, and access via wooden boardwalks.

Here are some highlights:

  • Natural setting: It offers crystal-clear waters and a variety of marine life, including crabs and shells.
  • Facilities: Equipped with good services like showers and security, making it family-friendly.
  • Quiet atmosphere: Less crowded compared to other beaches, especially outside of peak season.

However, some visitors have pointed out negatives:

  • Cleaning standards are lacking, with reports of litter and poorly maintained access points.
  • During the summer, the beach can be very busy, and some users have noted undesirable behaviors from other visitors.

Despite these drawbacks, Playa de la Gaviota remains a beautiful destination, ideal for relaxing and enjoying nature.

Negative experience: Ha sido una gran playa. Cada vez más comida por el mar y realmente mal cuidada. Muy sucia. Colillas por todos sitios. El alcalde debería preocuparse por cuidar sus playas y a sus visitantes en vez de machacarlos con los aparcamientos y las multas caprichosas.

Fantastic experience: Playa muy linda y limpia con agua fresquita para entrar. Hay bastante aparcamiento y es gratuito hasta el 15 de junio. Tiene área de aseo en la playa pero se encuentra cerrado, imagino por ser temporada baja aún.

Fantastic experience: Playa muy larga y de arena limpia que llega hasta la desembocadura del río Carreras, muy cercana a Isla Cristina y a la que se puede acceder por una larga pasarela de madera.

Fantastic experience: Very beautiful and peaceful, close to the marshes of Isla Cristina, clean. Easy access via the bridge, spectacular scenery.

Negative experience: A beautiful beach that dogs are not allowed on (it's clearly stated on the access bridge), yet it was full of people with dogs, smoking joints and playing typical loud music... not recommended because of the crowd that hangs around there... it's a shame that no one controls these violations... I won't be coming back.

Positive experience: Buena Playa en Isla que adolece de limpieza y vigilancia para que los que la visitamos no la ensuciemos gratuitamente. Debe mejorarse y ampliarse zonas de ducha. El chiringuito que montan desde hace 2 años debería estar en una zona más atrasada y procurar que su música y sus olores no resulten demasiado invasivas (estos veranos de atrás si). Más control de los PERROS, con un vigilante al principio de la pasarela sería suficiente para informar e incluso proponer sanciones. En la actualidad ya NO posee la BANDERA AZUL Ah¡¡¡ la Playa no sólo existe y debe cuidarse por parte del Ayuntamiento en la temporada de Playa de deJulio a 15 de Septiembre, De la Playa se disfruta todo el año, por tanto seria deseable un poco de mas atencion.

Fantastic experience: A place that is undoubtedly different where you have water both in front and behind. The water in front has waves, is cold, and has shells, although it doesn’t bother your feet. The sand is very fine and soft. Behind, the sea also comes in and the water is warmer, calm, and without waves. Depending on the tide, if it's high, it's full of fish, and if it's low, it's full of crabs and small crustaceans in their shells. The dune is beautiful and the walkways are nice too, although there is one that is a bit burned and in poor condition. It feels long when you have already been a couple of times because the dune is large and crossing to the shore takes quite a while.

Fantastic experience: This beach is located on the western coast of Isla Cristina, a coastal town in the province of Huelva, in southern Spain. This beach is one of the most popular in Isla Cristina because of its beautiful crystal-clear waters and its wide stretch of golden sand. It is a recommended choice for enjoying the sun and the sea in a pleasant environment with services available to visitors. It is actually called Playa de la Gola.

Positive experience: Access by wooden walkway, there are lifeguards, medical services, beach bar, the water is fine. There are more walkways that are abandoned, you can't pass, the surroundings to the walkway are dirty, it's a shame that Isla Cristina is so neglected. Nothing to do with the Portuguese beaches.

Positive experience: Nice beach, a little further away from the busier beaches. Nice walk from the entrance to the shore, along a pathway that crosses a lagoon or estuary that forms when the tide comes in. Here we have caught cockles and crabs in the past, but nowadays, their capture is prohibited. 'El Escarabajo' snack bar on the beach, looks very good. Showers and an area for reduced mobility.

Fantastic experience: Maravillosa playa en Isla Cristina. Aguas cristalinas con poco oleaje, con dunas y tranquilidad. En verano sitio muy concurrido y lleno de turistas y chiringuitos, lo uno atrae a los bajistas para tomar aperitivos y comidas .

Miguel Davila 3 years ago

Positive experience: La playa es amplia y está muy bien, la arena quema poco y tiene algun chiringuito y los servicios necesarios, incluso torre de vigilancia. Lo que falla es el mal estado de los accesos de madera, creo que se deberian mejorar.

Enrique Bravo 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Una playa amplia y tranquila en la que, como todas las de la zona, hay mucho espacio para pasear cuando baja la marea. El acceso es cierto que está regular, necesita arreglos esa pasarela de madera, un montón de baches que lo hacen peligroso para sillas de ruedas, por ejemplo. Hay duchas, chiringuito y socorristas.

Fantastic experience: It is a very large, quiet beach; the tide rises and falls several times a day, so when it's low, there is plenty of space to walk into the water without any problem. There are many fish and crabs.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful calm Beach not far from the hotels and Airbnbs. There is a 5 min long walk on a boardwalk, where you can see fisherman at the edge of the water. We visited here at the end of April 2024, because it is early spring. You will not see that many people. However, the weather is above 25°C. There is a supermarket called El Jamon right before entering the beach. Prices are in euro.

Fantastic experience: La Playa de la Gaviota in Isla Cristina es un lugar muy agradable para pasar un tiempo de calidad con la familia. Ofrece grandes vistas, y para llegar a la playa, cruzas un puente ecológico de madera sobre la laguna, donde puedes observar muchos pájaros. Es un lugar maravilloso para una salida familiar.

Positive experience: Lovely quiet beach, lots of shells, and lots of sea birds on the end. Be careful you don't get cut off on the end as the sea washes over into the lagoon.

Positive experience: It's beautiful. There's a wooden walkway over the water to get there. I don't give it a five because I couldn't go with my dog, who is a service dog for people with disabilities. You can catch shellfish when the tide is low.
