BEACHES
Chiclana has three excellent beaches, each of which has unique features. The most popular is La Barrosa Beach, which is considered one of the best in southern Spain and which continues to receive Blue Flag recognition year after year.
Further south you will find El Puerco Beach, which is popuarly known as Novo Sancti Petri Beach. Its original state has been preserved, with dunes on some stretches and cliffs at others, in addition to the traditional, golden sands found along almost the entire Cadiz coast.
Lastly, Sancti Petri Beach is completely unspoiled. It is situated in an idyllic setting and offers spectacular sunsets.
