Beach overall scores
Cala el Frailecillo (Cádiz) region (Costa de la Luz sub-region) is located outside the Novo Sancti Petri settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Cala el Frailecillo with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"Cala el Frailecillo is typical of those in the Roche area, boasting clean golden sands and easy access from the parking lot via a small wooden path leading to the stairs. It's usually quiet, except for weekends, and there are no services, but that's to be expected from a beach like this - those who come here are looking for a peaceful, natural experience."
Miguel Reyes
"Quite small, but if you want to get away from the hot Levante wind then you should go soon. The sand is golden, and the water is warmer than other beaches in Cádiz."
