Located on the western coast of Andalusia in the province of Cádiz, you'll find the lovely Playa el Palmar. This seven-kilometer long beach has fine golden sand and clear Atlantic waters with gorgeous views of the ocean. Visitors can find both free and affordable paid parking in lots along the beach, and from there access is easy using the wooden walkways.
Once you arrive, you'll find a beautiful beach with plenty of space to spread out and relax. Despite its popularity, Playa el Palmar never feels overcrowded due to its large size. The beach offers amenities that include bathrooms, showers, and sports equipment rentals. The beach has great water for swimming and is popular for activities like snorkeling, surfing, kitesurfing, and paddle-boarding. Visitors love to walk along the long stretch of unspoiled shore here, and the views are especially amazing during sunset.
