La Victoria Beach(Playa de la Victoria, Playa Victoria)

A favorite of both tourists and locals, Playa Victoria spans the entire length of Cadiz. Soft, golden sand blankets the beach, with the clear blue Atlantic ocean stretching into the horizon. At Playa Victoria, you’ll always find a spot to lie on the sand and take in the views. Adjacent to the beach lies a promenade with popular restaurants, bars, and hotels. There’s also an outdoor cinema during the summer where beachgoers can enjoy movies after a day at the beach.

At Playa Victoria, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your beach day. Bring your own sunbeds to soak up the sun, or rent them affordably at the beach. Take a leisurely stroll along the promenade to enjoy the ocean breeze. Play beach sports such as beach-rugby, volleyball, and football on the sand. For a day in the water, take a swim during low tide, when Playa Victoria is calm and inviting. And when the tide is up, the waves become perfect for surfers and water-sports enthusiasts. Playa Victoria is also a very comfortable place for a beach day, as it offers amenities such as public showers and restrooms, changing rooms, drinking fountains, lifeguards, and even summer beach bars. Playa Victoria’s excellence has been recognized, as the European Union has recognized it with a Blue Flag rating, which designates it as a clean, safe, and enjoyable beach.

Planning your day at Playa Victoria is not difficult. It’s easily accessible by car or by public transport, with plenty of beach-adjacent public street parking. And the local bus number 1 or 7 takes you right to the sand. Nearby restaurants such as La Taperia del Lulu and El Toro de Cayetano serve fresh Cadizian seafood, delicious tapas, and fine Mediterranean wines. And for a top-notch stay, book the Hotel Playa Victoria, which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and provides terraces with sweeping ocean views.
