Overview
A beach enclosed by tall cliffs, Cala del Aceite is one of the most famous coves of the Cadiz coast, known for its spectacular landscape of reddish cliffs made from compacting sand and clays. The beach is known for its fine, golden sand and turquoise water, and is sheltered from the Levante wind. The beach is both long and wide, with sand that feels extremely soft under the feet and clear water. The cliff is also lined with native vegetation such as fennel and juniper which provides a lovely contrast to the color of the rocks.
The beach also has amenities such as parking, lifeguards, toilets, and a shower. Aquatic activities that are frequently participated include canoeing and paddle surfing. The beach also offers kayak service which can be rented for 10 euros. Beachgoers looking to relax do so at Cala del Aceite’s beach bar, where they wind down by sipping on refreshing drinks.
The beach can be accessed via the CA-4202 road towards Conil de la Frontera. Take the lane to the right of the Cala del Aceite campsite until you reach the beach. Access to the beach is through a small gangway down the cliffs.
Fun fact: On the walls of the cliffs, you can sometimes find fossils of algae (rhodoliths) or calcaneal knots.
