Further south is Playa del Puerco, popularly known as Novo Sancti Petri beach. The beach, located at the foot of many hotels, still retains its original state, with dunes in some sections and cliffs in others, in addition to the now traditional clean and golden sands of practically the entire Cadiz coastline.

The Loma del Puerco beach is the one that is furthest from the urban center of the city, it is the limit that separates Chiclana from Conil de la Frontera. It is a mostly wild beach , where the green of the local flora blends with the golden sand and the intense blue of the sea, a beautiful beach that invites you to relax.
