Alcaidesa Beaches

Playa de La Alcaidesa is a beach in the municipality of La Línea de la Concepción, in the Province of Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain. It has a length of about 4.3 kilometres (2.7 mi) and average width of about 60 metres (200 ft). It i s a busy beach north of the city and bounded on the south by the Playa de La Hacienda and north by Punta Mala, and in the municipality of San Roque. It contain toilets, showers and has daily collection of waste during the bathing season. The beach is accessed from the nearby urbanization of La Alcaidesa. With its largely natural, unspoiled surroundings the long sandy beach of Playa de La Alcaidesa makes quite an impression. Here you will find an alternative to the urban or very touristy beaches in the region and you can relax in the wonderfully peaceful setting. Large parts of the beach are bordered by a golf course inland. There are two chiringuitos where you can not only order food and drinks, but also make yourself comfortable on the sun loungers or beach beds.

Beach Alcaidesa and Holiday Alcaidesa

PLAYA ALCAIDESA

This is the beach in front of the urbanization, which extends 4km to the east where it fronts the Alcaidesa Links Golf Course. There is only access at each end. At one end, in front of the Alcaidesa resort at Avenida de la Hacienda (GPS: 36.232851,-5.316482), you can find toilets, lifeguard huts and a chiringuito with sunbeds. The urbanization has a few cafes and shops. Parking at the seafront can be tricky on summer weekends, but is always possible if you don’t mind a short walk. Parking at the Paseo Maritimo at Avenida de la Hacienda (36.232851,-5.316482) is easier. The beach is popular in the summer but always quieter if you walk eastwards (or westwards along Playa Hacienda). Alternatively, you can access the west end by car, following signs for the Golf Club and then the Faro (lighthouse), which is reached by an unmade road. Before reaching the lighthouse, a track to the right winds down to access the east end of Playa Alcaidesa. Park just above the beach (36.244775,-5.30593) where there is a shower, toilets and lifeguard huts, but no chiringuito or sunbeds. The beach has been awarded the Blue Flag by the European Union for its high standards of cleanliness and facilities.
