Beach summer

When: Summer 2027, June to September

Beach, sunsets and fried fish in El Puerto de Santa María, with the Bay of Cádiz in front of you.

Summer in El Puerto means the beach in the morning, a siesta and a stroll at sunset. Both our El Puerto homes are right on the beachfront: Mirador Fuentebravía looks onto Fuentebravía beach, and Mirador Puerto Sherry is next to the marina, where you can go on boat trips, sail or paddleboard.

Summer has its own festivities. The night of 23 to 24 June 2027 is San Juan (Midsummer), with bonfires and a midnight swim on the beaches. On 16 July the Virgen del Carmen is carried in procession along the Guadalete river, among decorated boats. And the Real Plaza de Toros hosts bullfights and summer concerts.

July and August are the busiest months. If you are coming back, let us know early and we'll hold your dates.

Our tips

June and September have good weather and are quieter; in September the sea is still warm.
The catamaran to Cádiz leaves from the centre of El Puerto and takes about 30 minutes: a day out without the car. There are fewer sailings at weekends.
From Mirador Puerto Sherry, the centre of El Puerto (bodegas, castle, catamaran) is about 10 minutes by car.
Lifeguards and beach bars are seasonal, roughly June to September.
