Playa de la Puntilla

Playa de la Puntilla is a sandy beach in El Puerto de Santa María situated between two large breakwaters, bordered by natural dunes and pine trees that serve as windbreaks. The vegetation creates a green setting along the shore.

The beach developed alongside El Puerto de Santa María when the town was established as a port settlement in the 18th century. The breakwaters and current configuration were added later to protect the coastline from erosion.

This beach serves as a gathering place where locals spend their days with family and friends, reflecting how the community uses this shore for everyday leisure. The open character shows how integral this location is to the rhythm of local life.

The beach has showers, restrooms, and designated umbrella areas for visitors to use. Bus lines 1 and 2 stop nearby, making it easy to reach.

This shore attracts more local residents than tourists, preserving a laid-back and informal character that feels authentic. Visitors will notice the genuine daily rhythm of people using the space rather than a commercialized beach setting.
