Camping Las Dunas, Beachfront campground in El Puerto de Santa María, Spain.
Camping Las Dunas is a beachfront campsite in El Puerto de Santa María, near Cadiz, in southern Spain. The pitches are separated by hedges and are set up to accommodate tents, motorhomes, and vehicles of different sizes.
El Puerto de Santa María was for centuries a key port for sea trade between Spain and the Americas, and the whole coastal area still carries that maritime character. The campsite sits in a stretch of coast that has been known for its sandy shores and bay for a long time.
The on-site restaurant serves dishes from the Andalusian coast, the kind you normally find in small local places rather than tourist spots. Eating there gives a genuine sense of what the food around the Bay of Cadiz actually tastes like.
The campsite sits right next to a sandy beach, which you can reach on foot in moments. Going early in the morning or later in the evening is a good way to enjoy the shore with fewer people around.
You can book boat trips directly from the campsite to explore the Bay of Cadiz by water, which gives a very different view of the coast than what you see from land. The same shoreline looks quite different from a boat.
