Playa de El Portil

Playa de El Portil stretches across several kilometers of coastline with fine golden sand bordered by dunes and coastal vegetation. The flat waters and wide sandy zone create an open, undeveloped stretch of beach.

The area began as a fishing settlement in the 19th century and later became a coastal holiday destination. Its dual character between traditional work and modern leisure continues to shape the region.

Local fishermen head out to sea in the early morning and sell their catches directly on the shore, keeping a working tradition visible to visitors. This daily activity shapes how the place feels throughout the day.

The beach has showers, restrooms, equipment rental, and lifeguard stations available during warm months. Visitors should know that facilities and services run most smoothly during peak season.

Behind the beach sits a protected lagoon system that serves as a nesting ground for water birds. This nature reserve is sometimes visible from afar and adds ecological importance to the location.
