Playa de El Palmar — Attraction in Vejer de la Frontera

The beach is very nice, BUT... not prepared for visitors. Large beach Quite nice sand No showers or taps for rinsing feet!!!!!!!! No toilets; you have to pee in the sea. !!!!!!! I don't know what the local government is doing. This is a must—people need a place to piss, because they spend here many hours and drink a lot. Many bars Few shops Many African vendors selling cheap Chinese blankets No public parking, only private parking, expensive—around 5€. Paying 5€ every day to park for just a few hours is a waste of money. No paid sunbeds for rent Usually clean and clear water No shelters for people with disabilities Not supervised. I saw a lifeguard pass by a few times a day, but they don’t really supervise anything. Several surfing schools Dogs are forbidden. I think people should be forbidden on this beach too. Many surf and bodyboard...

The beach itself is beautiful, but we got robbed. Someone broke glass on our car and stole our big traveller backpacks full of personal items. It can happen, I know, but as we were in police station the officer tolds us it happens every day, 2/3/4 or even more times. Per day! How come there no huge signs not leave anything in your car? How come there are no officers watching it over?...

This is a great place with soft sand, when the water is calm you can take the kids to play and build castles. if you walk a little bit to your right hand side you will find a tower and an old ruin which is nice to see. The beach is clean and the people are friendly there and across the street they have some places where you can have a drink or buy lots...
