Playa la Victoria

Undoubtedly one of the most popular beaches in Cadiz, Playa la Victoria is a favourite with locals as well as visitors to the area. A beach sitting firmly within the city limits, its 2.8-kilometre length is matched by a promenade alongside it that hosts hotels, bars, restaurants and nightclubs.

The beach itself comprises a good width of near-white sands facing out into the Atlantic, with some rocks beneath the waves to be aware of. Public facilities go beyond showers and lifeguard stations to include football pitches, goalposts for beach rugby, and volleyball nets. Sunbeds, umbrellas, and peddle boats are also available for hire.

During the summer, Playa la Victoria has a dedicated tourist information office with English-speaking staff, as well as an outdoor cinema. The beach has been awarded a Blue Flag for cleanliness on successive occasions. Free parking can be found in the nearby streets, or bus number 7 heads to the beach from the centre of Cadiz.
