Playa de El Rinconcillo

Spain, Spain

---

Playa de El Rinconcillo is the largest and most popular beach in Algeciras, located in the Province of Cádiz, Andalusia, Spain, stretching approximately 2,550 meters long and 40 meters wide with fine golden sand.

This urban beach sits north of Algeciras near the El Rinconcillo neighborhood and offers stunning views across the water to the Rock of Gibraltar and La Línea de la Concepción. The beach has two distinct sections: the southern part is surrounded by the suburb, bars, and restaurants with shallow, calm water ideal for swimming, while the northern area near the Rio Palmones river mouth is completely undeveloped, surrounded by marshes and dunes, with steeper slopes, deeper water, and numerous bird species attracted to the estuary.

It features excellent facilities including accessible toilets, showers, reserved spaces, and even an amphibian chair for people with reduced mobility, making it the most recommended beach in Algeciras despite being very crowded during high season.
