Playa de Cala Sardina, Mediterranean beach in San Roque, Spain
Playa de Cala Sardina is a 900 meter long beach with dark sand punctuated by rocky outcrops and bordered by natural grassland. The shore features both open swimming areas and rocky coves framed by grass-covered cliffs.
Playa de Cala Sardina is the easternmost beach in the province of Cádiz, lying in the municipality of San Roque at the boundary with the province of Málaga, next to Punta Chullera. It forms part of the Mediterranean coast of the Campo de Gibraltar region.
The beach is also called playa del Cabrero or playa Chullera. It lies beside Punta Chullera, near the San Diego development, and has been reachable on foot from Torreguadiaro; a bus stop has served it since 2009.
The beach has full accessibility with ramps, amphibious chairs, designated parking, showers, and lifeguards during summer. Facilities vary with the seasons, so visiting during warmer months ensures all services are available.
On clear days, visitors can see three different countries from this single viewpoint: Gibraltar to the north, Morocco's Mount Musa to the south, and Ceuta in the distance. Few places along Spain's coast offer such a compressed geography lesson.
