Positive experience: Beach with many families. It is quite narrow, so you have to check if the tide will be high or you won't find a good spot. It's difficult to park, so almost everyone is people who stay in the nearby apartments (most are from Seville). There are many vendors selling cans and snacks. There are quite a few stones on the shore, so you have to enter carefully. I do not recommend it for spending the day, but it is true that the water is very calm for children and elderly people. I recommend it with the mentioned limitations.
Negative experience: They spent all the money on parking machines for years... and they ran out of budget to fix the entrances and walkways... everything ruined by the sea, at least it's taken by the one that belongs there...
Fantastic experience: Very cool but little parking
Negative experience: El Portil no tiene playa como tal, por las mañanas cuando está la marea baja si puedes acceder Sino te tienes que ir a la del nuevo Portil
Positive experience: Buen ambiente, hay un campus donde los niños pueden aprender padel surf, etc.

Fantastic experience: Magnificent beach. Ideal for families and sports. No dogs.
Fantastic experience: En su zona occidental al no haber edificaciones su estado es semisalvaje con muchas dunas en su parte superior existe un trazado de madera muy bonito que se entrelaza con los pinos desde donde se observa la desembocadura del rio Piedras y la llamada Flecha del Rompido para los habitantes de Cartaya y Flecha de Nueva Umbría para los de Lepe. Es un tramo ideal para bajar con perros ya que apenas hay bañistas, comienza a la altura de los hoteles Playa Cartaya y el del campo de golf Nuevo Portil, llegando hacia poniente al llamado Caño de Gamorales, después llegan las aglomeraciones de bañistas y para no molestar mejor dar la vuelta por el sendero que llega al Mirador de la Flecha del Rompido dónde se puede observar una bonita puesta de sol.
Fantastic experience: La playa es preciosa, con arena blanca muy suelta. Hay servicios y chiringuitos muy chulos y el agua de mar, muy cristalina. También tienen un área especial para perros. Eso sí, si quieres disfrutar de soledad, no vayas en agosto, porque está a tope de gente.
Fantastic experience: Es una playa muy limpia.hay sitios con acceso para minusválidos. Otros donde hay menos gente se puede llevar perros. Situación muy buena
Negative experience: Esta peor que nunca, ahora en plena campaña estival se pinen a reparar la playa de los temporales, muchos perros por la playa y la policia de playa, que nos comentaron el año pasado que pasaria todos los días para ayudar y controlar, no se ve a ninguna hora, preguntas si alguien los a visto y se sorprenden porque no sabian que existia ese servicio, solo pasan por la mañana a decirles a los pescadores que se son las 9 y ya está prohibida la pesca, cada año peor...

Fantastic experience: A family beach where I have been spending my summers for years.
Positive experience: The beach, when the tide rises, leaves you without sand; there are very good nearby beaches, but overall I don't consider this one a beach at all. The atmosphere is very calm, recommended for coming with children or older couples. The village bars are affordable, but the beach bars are expensive. There is a little boat that takes you to La Flecha beach for 4.50 round trip; there you can spend the day with a cooler on an impressive virgin beach. But there is nothing, so bring your cooler.
Positive experience: Quiet beach with fiddler crabs. Fine sand and pebbles. Bathed by the Piedras River with the arrow in front. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Buena playa de finas arenas , tiene buenos restaurantes do de comer y abren precio

Negative experience: Una pena de playa, poca arena y muchas piedras. Los accesos a la playa abandonados por la administración, sin papeleras ni socorrista.
Fantastic experience: Excelente lugar para tomar el sol, se mantiene la distancia de seguridad, arena blanca, agua un poco fría. Muy pocos chiringuitos en el área, por lo que recomiendo llevar sus propias comidas y bebidas. Mucho espacio para aparcar, no tiene acceso para sillas de ruedas.
Negative experience: Al Ayto. de Punta Umbría se la suda los visitantes de este lugar, que podría ser una buena playa, hizo un amago de retirar las piedras que el mismo colocó el verano pasado, y que se han repartido por la arena, sin llegar a terminar, eso si, según sus vecinos no se olvida de ellos para el cobro de impuestos, hay en casi 2 kms de playa un solo puesto de socorristas y servicios, y todo ello coronado por una bandera azul, que me gustaría saber si es cierta.

Negative experience: Everywhere they say it is a beautiful beach, but it reminds me of the beaches where I have spent my summers all my life in Murcia, very ugly and with murky water. In this photo, it looks much prettier than it is.
Fantastic experience: A clean beach, with no waves but many currents. I consider it one of the best in Huelva.
Fantastic experience: Idyllic Place. Beach with fine, very clean sands, with many services. Highly recommendable.
Positive experience: Nice beach with white sand. With bigger tides this season you can now find dirt in the water that wasn't there before

Fantastic experience: Excelente playa que con marea baja se forma una isla a la que se puede llegar en kayak. Hay que tener cuidado con las fuertes corrientes con coeficientes altos de marea.
Positive experience: No es de más mejores playas de Huelva, pero si tu o tu familia tenéis un piso allí, es lo que hay. Cada vez menos arena, lo mejor es tener un kayak o un barco y cruzar a la isla que hay en frente, o andar en dirección Punta Umbría para tener un mínimo de arena y orilla
Portil Beach: Reviews
Fantastic experience: A small paradise on Earth
Positive experience: It has rocks
Fantastic experience: I love it
Fantastic experience: Great
Fantastic experience: Calm and beautiful beach. When the tide goes out, you can see many crabs. When it comes in, you have to be careful because it almost swallows the entire beach and there is hardly any space to leave towels.

Fantastic experience: Magnificent beach. Ideal for families and sports. No dogs.

Positive experience: The storms have left the village beach in very bad condition... you have to go to the beaches outside the village to find some decent beaches.
Fantastic experience: A family beach where I have been spending my summers for years.
