Centre and fishing port

Isla Cristina’s town centre is flat and easy to explore on foot or by bike. Life revolves around the port, the fish market and the canneries, and its streets have bars serving fish landed every afternoon. The carnival parades also pass through here in February.

Sleeping in the centre puts you close to shops, restaurants, the market and the fish auction. It is the choice for anyone who prefers a village feel to a resort.

Playa Central

Playa Central is linked to the town by a promenade and has fine sand, beach bars and services in summer. Places to stay along this strip combine the beach on foot with the centre a short distance away, very convenient for families. Behind lie pine woods and protected dunes. In high season it is the busiest beach in the municipality, so go down early for a good spot.

Best-rated in this area: Estival Isla Cristina, with a score of 8.9 from 2,694 reviews.

La Casita Azul

To the east, the coast continues along La Casita Azul beach, with apartment developments and holiday blocks next to the pine woods. It is a quiet area, especially outside July and August, for anyone wanting a long beach stay.

By bike you can reach the town, although a car comes in handy for big shops or excursions.

Islantilla and La Redondela

Islantilla is a resort shared between Isla Cristina and Lepe, with a golf course, promenade and beachfront apartments. A little further inland is La Redondela, a hamlet of low houses with a rural feel.

This part appeals to golfers and families looking for holiday facilities. You will need the car to go to the port or to visit the Isla Cristina Marshes, where herons and flamingos can be seen.
