El Palmar Beach

Pitch in the second row from the beach. Sanitary facilities were okay, but nothing fancy. Small shop with excellent baguettes. We were able to extend our stay and move to a different pitch. Very crowded on weekends, sometimes noisy, better to book during the week 😀 We would come again (10 meters is no problem, there are extra-large pitches). Two nice beach clubs with good food and drink options right on the beach. Lots of surfers, which makes sense given it's right on the Atlantic.

I think a 4-star rating is a bit overrated. The bathroom facilities are very poor, and it's a rather bare place. The location near a (primarily) surfing beach is fantastic, though. You can go horseback riding on the beach with Marion (Dutch), who runs Cortija Manguete, 2.5 km from the Hípica campervan site. Book around/on the weekend during the low season. Have fun!

January 13, 2026 A really great place! Well-maintained and a nice atmosphere. Plenty of space in January. Slightly more crowded on weekends due to locals, but far from full. Quiet during the week. Most surfers park their vans along the beach. Very close to the beach and cozy clubs with good food and drinks. Very affordable.
