El Palmar Beach(Playa Del Palmar)

Located 5 kilometers north of Vejer de la Frontera, Playa de El Palmar is a hidden gem known for its laid back vibes and untouched landscape. With golden soft sand, dramatic dunes, and carefully preserved vegetation, it’s a sight to behold. Beachgoers take in the beach’s stunning surroundings by walking along the beautiful wooden walkways that lead to the beach.

Playa de El Palmar is flat and exposed, which makes it vulnerable to debris from trees, sand dunes, and cliffs. It’s not the best place to relax on a windy day. However, the beach’s wind makes it perfect for surfing and wind-driven watersports. At local surf shop Kotadulu, rent surfboards and try to catch waves. El Palmar’s lack of urban development has made it a quaint and eclectic beach town.

For hungry beachgoers looking for some quality grub, there are plenty of authentic neighborhood restaurants and bars to choose from. Local recommendations include La Cerveceria, La Dolce Vita, Restaurant Morito, and Hostal El Rajero Verde, which all offer different takes on Spanish and Meditteranean cuisine. For fine dining (and perhaps a date), Casa Francisco el de Siempre will not disappoint. Beachgoers that spend the night at El Palmar love its local family-run hotels and guesthouses, and highly recommend Hostal Restaurante La Ilusion and the Casa Francisco el de Siempre.

To reach the beach by car, take the N-340 north heading from Vejer towards Conil and Cadiz, and then take the first exit on the left, the CA-2141
