Beach at a glance
What it is like
Playa La Caleta is an urban cove in Cádiz, enclosed at either end by Castillo de Santa Catalina and Castillo de San Sebastián. The setting combines golden sand, a length of 450 metres and a width of 25 metres with usually calm waters and a landscape of historic monuments beside the seafront promenade. Its position in the town centre explains the high visitor numbers and concentration of services, including catering, tourism and nautical activities. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the A-4, with an urban bus and adapted access.
