La Barrosa is 6 km long and with golden sand is divided into two zones. The first - Paseo Maritimo - is a comfortable city beach with a footpath per kilometer, laid parallel to the coastline, bars, restaurants and car parks. This zone is the most loaded, and in the summer months there are quite a lot of local and tourists here. The second zone extends to Tore del Puerco - the southernmost point of the shore of Chiclana. This is actually a protected area with sand dunes and tall pine trees. Behind it are ultramodern hotels of 5 stars, golf courses, shopping centers and spa salons of the city.

Beach Sancti Petri was famous for its homonymous village, formerly inhabited by fishermen who caught tuna. Today it is a zone with artificial breakwaters in the navigation channel of Sancti Petri, where the fishing port is located, water sports thrive and periodically you can observe the sunsets of unearthly beauty.
