Playa de La Calita

Playa de La Calita, Golden sand beach in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain.

Playa de La Calita is the smallest beach in El Puerto de Santa María, in the province of Cádiz. It lies between Playa de La Muralla and Vistahermosa, next to the ruins of the old Castillo de Santa Catalina. Its fine golden sand runs 450 metres along the shore with an average width of 15 metres and an average slope of 9%.

La Calita lies between the ruins of the old castle of Santa Catalina and the beach of Vistahermosa, in El Puerto de Santa María. The sources record no founding date or maritime events for the beach itself; its history is tied to the Santa Catalina fortification whose ruins stand beside it. It is the smallest of the town's beaches, 450 m long.

La Calita lies between the ruins of the old castle of Santa Catalina and Vistahermosa beach, and its name is simply the diminutive of "cala", a small cove. Bathers use the showers and hygienic-sanitary services installed on the sand. The castle ruins at one end are the landmark to look for when walking from La Muralla.

The best time to visit is during early morning or late afternoon when the beach is less crowded. Parking is available near the beach, and access is available through several entry routes.

La Calita lies directly beside the ruins of the old Castillo de Santa Catalina, a detail many bathers pass without noticing. The beach is the smallest of El Puerto de Santa María's beaches, at 450 m long and only about 15 m wide on average.
