Beach at a glance

What it is like

Characteristics published by official sources

Playa San Miguel is distinguished by the pine wood that leads directly to an extensive beach of fine, light-coloured sands. Located between Nuevo Portil and El Rompido, it forms a semi-urban stretch of dunes and pine wood, 2,000 metres long but only 17 metres wide. Vegetation and moderately wavy waters accompany a lightly occupied setting, with bathing, cleaning, restaurant, sailing-club and anchorage services. It is easily reached on foot or by car via the A5052, with between 50 and 100 parking spaces.
