8 Very good

This beach is a tranquil and peaceful location, especially during the month of January. It is not a developed beach, but it does have a nice patch of sand and sand dunes that is free of rocks and litter. The only downside is that visitors do not always respect nature and throw their trash in the available bin and some dog owners do not respect the signs. The beach is easy to access, located about 33 kilometers away from Plaza San Miguel, with side-street parking and a wooden walkway for the 50-meter-or-so walk to the beach, making it wheelchair and stroller accessible. There is a tiny bathroom located at the kiosk-pub (Kiosco Playa Camaron) at the entrance of the beach. The beach is a great place for those looking for peace, however, there is no playground here. During our visit, there were also broken glasses (huge ones) mixed in with the rocks and litter.

This location , located east of Chipiona, is a great spot to visit with family. It has excellent public services, such as toilets, showers, and lifeguards, and is accessible for those with mobility issues. It is also a safe beach for children. The only downside is the La Canaleta beach bar, which turns the beach into a nightclub from five in the afternoon, with music playing at an unbearable volume, making it impossible to relax. If you're looking for a tranquil beach to rest, this isn't the one for you.

A peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It stretches from the Sanctuary to the Tres Piedras area and is easily accessible with wooden pathways, as well as disabled access. The sand dunes and vegetation are impressive and make for a great walk, especially at sunset when you can enjoy the beautiful views. Unfortunately, when the tide is low, it's not suitable for swimming as the fishing pens become exposed. There are some beach bars nearby serving up local cuisine and a few toilets, but it can be quite desolate in the off-season.

The beach was nothing short of spectacular. The sea's infinite expanse and the desert-like atmosphere in November created a wonderfully calming ambiance. The sound of the waves breaking against the natural barrier was soothing, and it was a privilege to be surrounded by such beauty. The sand was incredibly soft, and despite the lack of wind and sunshine, it was a fantastic place to take a swim.

Chipiona's Regla beach is a great spot, but if you're looking for a more peaceful experience, the beach after it is highly recommended. It's much quieter and has far fewer people.
