La Caleta

Located in beautiful Cádiz, it is an idyllic spot. The beaches, good food and rich history. Definitely plan on returning!

Great beach in the center of Cadiz. Enjoying our stay here today.

A nice place to hang out at during a day trip to Cádiz even in late December! Kids run around with gusto, collecting seashells and pebbles

Cádiz, La Caleta is a beach located in the historical center of the city of Cádiz. It is a natural harbor by which Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans penetrated historically. main attraction is its location, a scene that has inspired musicians and poets like: Isaac Albéniz, José Maria Pemán, Paco Alba, and Carlos Cano. It has been pictured in several films, such as 007: Die Another Day, Alatriste, and Manolete.

Great beach. The water is calm but cold. There are toilets and showers.

Usually a lot of people, but overall fine

Not sure how typical it is there, but during our 2 days in Cadiz, water in La Caleta was very turbid (likely due to heavy rain in Andalucia couple days before our arrival). Also loads of seaweed😬 You find much better conditions on the south side of the walkway to the fortress. It has access to open Atlantic and water there is much clearer, but swimming conditions are harder due to higher waves. If you just want to play on the sand - it's a place for you, although we visited pre season and I can see it getting very crowded. Big parkings are available nearby, but be prepared for them to be full or if you get lucky, to dig deep into your pockets - 15€/day seems to be cheap in Cadiz😬

Beautiful beach setting. We were there in March and the beach was pretty empty although I suspect it would be crowded in the summer. It's a great spot to grab some food and wine and watch the fisherman's boats on the water.
