Playa de Sancti Petri, Atlantic beach in Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain.
Playa de Sancti Petri is a sandy beach on the Costa de la Luz that runs from the marina to the Torre de la Bermeja watchtower. The shoreline gently slopes into the water, making it easy to enter and suitable for swimmers of all levels.
This was a traditional fishing settlement for centuries until economic shifts in the 1970s brought expansion and new facilities. The marina was developed to support both local fishing and recreational boating.
Working fishing boats dock at the nearby marina, and the daily rhythms of the port reflect the community's deep connection to the sea. You notice fishermen preparing their catches and mending nets along the waterfront.
The beach has showers, restrooms, and lifeguard coverage throughout the season. Dining options are close by at the marina, and rental shops for water sports equipment are within easy walking distance.
Consistent eastern winds between this beach and El Castillo create excellent conditions for windsurfing and sailing year-round. The predictable wind patterns make this stretch of coast a favorite training ground for water sports enthusiasts.
