Beautiful and clean beach with nice sand and calm waves. I would recommend it for paddle surfing.

An nice beach with a large stretch of sand in the south of Huelva. Well served by bars and restaurants along the beach. Not easy to find parking.

(Translated by Google) It is a building at the access to one of the beaches of Isla Cristina. A beautiful and striking building due to its color that gives its name to the beach.

Playa de la Gaviota in Isla Cristina is a very nice place to spend some quality time with the family. It offers great views, and to reach the beach, you cross a wooden eco bridge over the lagoon, where you can observe lots of birds. It's a wonderful spot for a family outing.

Lovely quiet beach, lots of shells, and lots of sea birds on the end. Be careful you don't get cut off on the end as the sea washes over into the lagoon.

Great long beach with many shells and other sea life

Crowded and dirty. Avoid during summer

Super.

Relax

(Translated by Google) The beach is always full of garbage, there are 25 per square meter on the shore.

La gente no la cuida como debería, pero igual están las calles del pueblo, las marismas y todo lo que atañe a Isla Cristina. Una pena que lo que podía ser un paraíso sera un estercolero.

(Translated by Google) Isla Cristina is located in a privileged environment, its origins are very recent, dating back to the second half of the 18th century, when fishermen from the Mediterranean settled to exploit the sardine and tuna fishing grounds, season the fish and extract the salt. After the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, the definitive and stable location of the then Royal Island of La Higuerita was marked. Isla Cristina has a coastline of more than thirteen kilometers with beaches where family and tourist environments alternate. Boardwalks, wooden bridges and well-marked paths facilitate access to any of its beaches. This beach represents Isla Cristina, with its promenade, its beach bars and its magnificent idyllic beach. (Original) Isla Cristina está enclavada en un entorno privilegiado, sus orígenes son muy recientes, pues se remontan a la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, cuando pescadores procedentes del Mediterráneo se asentaron para explotar los caladeros de sardina y atún, sazonar el pescado y extraer la sal. Tras el terremoto de Lisboa de 1755, se marca el definitivo y estable emplazamiento de la entonces Real Isla de La Higuerita Isla Cristina cuenta con una línea costera de más de trece kilómetros con playas en las que se alternan los ambientes familiares y turísticos. Paseos marítimos, puentes de madera y caminos bien trazados facilitan el acceso a cualquiera de sus playas. Esta playa representa Isla Cristina, con su paseo marítimo sus chiringuitos y su magnífica playa idilica.

Very nice authentiq fres food for good price

(Translated by Google) We were for dinner recommended by another bar that is in the port. We had a tapa of roe, a portion of gallúo tuna, another of partridge tuna and the last of grilled prawns.

And the Cruzcampo tap is very good, that for a Madrid native is saying a lot 🤣 (Original) Estuvimos a cenar recomendados por otro bar que está en el puerto. Tomamos una tapa de huevas, una ración de atún al gallúo, otra de atún a la perdiz y la última de gambas a la plancha. Todo muy rico y de precio y cantidad, genial. Lo recomiendo 100%. ¡Ah!

I don't usually write reviews on places but this place is weird and the waiter is a nut case... I went down to the beach this evening to watch the sun set and called in for a beer. I was on my own and sat down waiting to be served. The place was full of people drinking (not eating)with the same idea. The waiter came over and I asked in my best Spanish for "One big beer please". The water asked if I was going to order food as well. I said maybe but I would like a drink first and watch the sun set from the table. He then asked me to leave in front of a full restaurant and pointed to the door! I was actually kicked out of the place!!!!!! On the up side I wandered over to Restaurante El Carmen just a few doors down. You can actually see the sun set from here and had an amazing authentic time there with amazing friendly welcoming staff and will be returning. Maybe I looked like the guy who's wife the waiter in Restaurante Océano Playa left him for or maybe.. Who knows... Restaurante Océano Playa sucks.... Avoid at all costs! Choose Restaurante El Carmen for a kinder welcome instead. Jed

Beautiful location we stopped for lunch. Absolutely the best grilled fish we have ever had. Shown the fresh fish before cooking it. Stupidly didn’t ask the key phrase ‘Cuanto questa? We decided yes it’s probably not cheap but it was a treat. We asked for a menu and were asked meat or fish? No menu appeared £87 for two beers, salad bread rolls and the fish which also came with some boiled cold potatoes and pepper mix. Did we enjoy it - yes Do we feel conned for being tourists- absolutely.

Just avoid at all costs! This is the receipt of what they charged us today and for a whole grilled fish. Seems overpriced right? A scam? Definitely the most expensive fish in the entire world! When you ask the staff about it they are so happy about it, just preying on tourists. Their behaviour is literally disgusting. And on top of this, this place is just below average! No wonder they get such bad reviews. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED!!and if you do have to stop at this place please ask for precise pricing so they don’t rip you off !!

Agree with Karen Powell in the previous review. Lesson learned. Don’t order food anywhere if there is no menu with pricing displayed. We too expected an expensive bill but were not prepared for the extortionate prices charged for a pretty average meal of grilled fish, steak and a couple of beers. €147 for the two of us. To put it in perspective, €150 would pay for six nights excellent camper van accommodation where we are staying at Camping Giralda. Buy a beer there, enjoy the sun but don’t order food.

Like several other reviewers before us, we unfortunately got scammed here. We were not given menus, but instead were given the offer of some grilled fish. We liked the idea and the food was decent, but then we were presented with the bill. They charged us for 2.1 kg worth of fish, which we absolutely did not have, but of course we could not prove. We had to pay 156 euros for a 2-person lunch consisting of grilled fish, a handful of chips and a basic side salad. Avoid this place.

Avoid this place at all costs. It is a shameless tourist trap that thrives on deception. They refused to give me a proper menu, which was the first sign they had something to hide. When the bill came, they had the audacity to charge me for a more expensive dish than the one I actually ordered. This isn’t bad service — it’s deliberate scamming. The food itself was forgettable, but the dishonest practices are what make this place truly disgraceful. They prey on tourists, banking on the fact that most people won’t challenge them. Do yourself a favor: walk past this place and find literally any other restaurant. You’ll get better food, fair prices, and won’t leave feeling cheated. This establishment deserves zero stars for its shady and exploitative behavior.

Amazing food, great service and the best location possible. It is a must while in Isla Cristina. Pricing is very reasonable for the portions, quality and location you get.

Great stop for tapas lunch. Recommended Very busy with local people which confirms it's high quality of food. We used self service which was quick and efficient.

Fantastic fresh red mullet. Very good service with a little help from the translate app. Even understood about my wife's food issues. Would go again. Many thanks!

Amazing place! We usually sit outside and you have to go early or you have to wait. It will still be worth waiting. Look for Damian - one of the best camarero in the world! Very good atmosphere inside too. Love it!

Nice place to be - restaurant is on the heart of Isla Cristina. Carte traditionnelle d’ Andalousie. Ambiance top. Waitress patient and helpful with a :) - even when not speaking spanish. Only element, don’t sit next to the bins.

Well worth a visit excellent food, well priced, excellent location to watch the world go by and superb service from Diana.

Food and service were both okay. Nothing spectacular, but not horrible.

food is good. although the waiters dont speak any english, there is a young spanish lady kind enough to explain to us in english and take our orders. -1 star is because they took wrong order.

A lovely place, offering some really special dishes, excellent service and truly wonderful fresh and inventive food at a great price. I highly recommend moving one street back from the beach and trying some delicious local produce.

Excellentes food, a good wine and very kind personel.

Absolutely not to miss, a true gem.

Very nice staff and excellent local cuisine and Very fresh fish. Superb red tuna.

The best tuna I ever had in Spain and you must trie smoked tuna AMAZING , DELICIOUS......

Very lovely restaurant. Beautiful fish and very interesting dishes

Carisimooooo
