The northern end of La Barrosa beach, facing the Sancti Petri castle islet, and the Cádiz coast's alternative to Tarifa on poniente days. Westerly winds blow side-onshore over flat to small waves, ideal for learning and for wing. It works all year, busiest in summer. Levante is offshore here and the Sancti Petri channel has strong tidal currents, so ride only in the marked zone.
