Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa del Castillo extends Playa de Camposoto in an isolated stretch of dunes and marshes, within Paraje Natural de Sancti-Petri. Its 1,650 metres of golden sand and 40 metres of width form a wetland frontage, with vegetation, low visitor numbers and generally windy moderate swell. Access is its most decisive practical feature: it can only be reached on foot from Camposoto or by swimming from Sancti-Petri, and the listing classifies it as difficult. There is an urban bus connection via the Camposoto road. The only facility recorded is a cleaning service.
