Conil de la Frontera by boat
For a boat trip to Conil de la Frontera on our sailboat, we set off from Barbate marina, about 30 minutes by car from Conil, and sail there on a full-day trip.
It’s one of the most beautiful routes in the province: the La Breña cliffs, Caños de Meca, Cape Trafalgar and its lighthouse, the open beaches of Zahora and El Palmar and, at the end, the Roche coves, small and surrounded by reddish rock walls.
It’s about 11 miles from Barbate, so this is a trip for the whole day, with time to anchor and eat on board.

One of the longest, most open beaches on this coast and a meeting point for surfers.

When to sail to Conil
To reach Conil we need a day with a good forecast, because the route passes Cape Trafalgar, an area exposed to wind and currents. The most settled months are usually summer and early autumn.
If a strong poniente is blowing on the day, the skipper will suggest an alternative route, for example towards Zahara and Atlanterra, so the sailing is comfortable.
If you only want a shorter spell on the water, the half day towards Caños de Meca covers the first part of this coastline in less time.
