Quite small, but if you want to get away from the hot Levante wind then you should go soon. The sand is golden, and the water is warmer than other beaches in Cádiz.

Cala el Frailecillo is typical of those in the Roche area, boasting clean golden sands and easy access from the parking lot via a small wooden path leading to the stairs. It's usually quiet, except for weekends, and there are no services, but that's to be expected from a beach like this - those who come here are looking for a peaceful, natural experience.

This beach near Novo Sancti Petri is a great spot to spend the day. The small cove is nestled away, with fine sand and plenty of options. Whether you're looking for topless nudism or a more conservative swimsuit, there's something for everyone. There's a wide variety of foreigners and the water is cold, perfect for a few cold beers. Plus, it's easy accessible and there's a nearby cove to take a walk if you bring flip flops.
