Playa de Guadarranque

Spain, Spain

---

Playa de Guadarranque is a small semi‑urban beach in the Guadarranque neighborhood of San Roque, in the Campo de Gibraltar area of Cádiz, southern Spain.

It lies on the shore of the Bay of Algeciras, between the mouth of the Guadarranque River and nearby industrial facilities, which help keep it relatively quiet and less crowded than more tourist‑focused beaches. The beach is about 600–800 meters long and around 60 meters wide, with soft golden sand, small natural dunes, and calm waters that are suitable for swimming and walking along the seaside promenade. 

It offers basic amenities such as toilets, showers, lifeguard presence in high season, and a small parking area, and its location near San Roque and Algeciras makes it easy to combine a beach visit with trips to historical sites like the ancient town of Carteia in the same area.
