Playa de la Puntilla, Public beach in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain

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 sources document no founding date or breakwater construction for the beach itself; they place it in the municipality of El Puerto de Santa María, in the province of Cádiz, between the mouth of the Guadalete river and Playa de la Colorá, next to the pinares and dunes of San Antón, where there is a campsite. Its recorded measurements are 850 m long and 89 m wide on average, with a 7% average slope and fine golden carbonate sand.

The beach takes its name from the nearby Punta de la Nao, a headland that shelters the cove. Local bathers and national tourists share the shore, served by a first-aid post, an ambulance on weekends and holidays, and amphibious chairs for people with reduced mobility.
