Castilnovo:
Castilnovo has a longitude of 2600 m and an average width
of 180 m, with fine golden sand, as well as abundant and
well-maintained greenery. It is linked to the Playa del
Palmar beach, just inside the municipal area of the inland
hilltown of Vejer de la Frontera.
Playa de Los Bateles:
A continuation
of the Castilnovo beach and its salt-water
river estuary. This is the main town beach for Conil
and has all beach facilities, such as lifeguards, safety
notices,
and - in summer season - beach bars and sporting facilities.
A quiet family beach, just a walk from the centre of Conil.
We recommend the walk here, in the direction of El Palmar,
just before sunset. It’s rich in shells and other treasures
of the sea.
La Fontanilla:
A country beach with a high occupancy level; it has a notable but moderate
swell, and fine gold sand. It also has a lifeguard service and beach safety
signals. Among its bays and coves are: Quinto and Camacho (Cala Melchor, Cala
Pitones and Cala Sudario) with its reddish earth - very characteristic of the
locale - and suitable for nudist bathing. It has 600 metres of sand and sparkling
clear water to lure you into the sea.
The bays of Poniente :
 There
are six very small bays and coves on the Poniente beach: Cala
Encendida, Cala Aspero, Cala Pato, Cala Medina and Cala Frailecillo.
In these, the same as on the Cala del Aceite beach, nudist
bathing is commonplace. On Cala del Aceite
beach there is very fine sand and incredibly blue water (sheltered from the
wind by the cliffs that surround the area and in the middle of dense pine forest)
and in summer a beach restaurant (booking recommended, as it is popular and
busy). It is highly regarded by everyone who visits it, and even though it
isn’t difficult to find if you don’t know the surrounding area
it might be a little complicated to reach.
Fuente del Gallo:
This is a beach reached by cliff but at the point where the cliffs - at the
beaches of Pleamar, or Marea Alta - disappear completely. It has a total of
1000 m of beach suitable for windsurfing, with only a moderate swell, and occasionally
for surfing and bodyboarding, but lacks any of the facilities that might see
this remote beach transformed into another ‘jewel’ of the zone.
This is a very special beach and we ask everyone who visits it to take
care and not leave litter here.
Roche:
 The
beach below the small suburban area of the same name, this is a beach with
a medium length (2200 m by an average width of 40 m) with moderate swell but
also, occasionally, stunning conditions for surfing and bodyboarding, with
large waves and, if there’s an off-shore wind, with breaking waves and
tubes. Uniquely for a surf beach it has lifeguard service during the summer.
Access is simple; just look for signs for the Roche beach and follow the directions.
As can be seen from our search, the beaches of Conil de la Frontera
are excellent all year round. Landscape, peace, sun … the perfect conditions to escape
the routine and meet nature face to face, which could be said to be the key
characteristic of everyone who visits here.
There are also some outstanding nudist beaches here, where visitors can enjoy
the sun and landscape in total liberty.
