Playa de La Redondela, Sand beach in Isla Cristina, Spain
Playa de La Redondela is a wide sand beach with fine golden sand and moderate waves suitable for swimming and wading along the coast of Isla Cristina. The shoreline features a wooden walkway extending partway down the beach and is lined with reed windbreaks that provide shelter from coastal winds.
The beach grew as the island developed from a fishing settlement founded by Mediterranean sailors in the 18th century. Over time it became an important center for maritime trade and fishing operations.
The beach remains connected to the fishing way of life that has shaped the island's identity, with local boats and nets visible along the shoreline throughout the day.
The beach has showers, toilets, waste bins, and cleaning services available for visitors. The moderate waves and wide sandy area make it accessible for families and those new to water activities.
The beach features rows of reed windbreaks that visitors can use to find shelter from strong coastal breezes. These barriers create pockets of calm where people can relax away from the wind without needing expensive structures.
