Castilnovo is a surf spot located along a long stretch of beach connecting Conil and El Palmar. This area features a few excellent peaks that are worth checking out, especially on the right swell. Known for its more untouched vibe, it's a go-to place for surfers looking to escape the crowds, as access from the Torre de Castilnovo involves a bit of a walk.

The surf here works best with swells from the west, along with southwest and northwest directions. It can handle swell sizes starting from about 1 foot (0.3 meters), which makes it accessible for various conditions. The waves break over sand, creating both left and right waves suitable for intermediate surfers. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide and check for east winds to get cleaner waves.

Since Castilnovo is an open beach, be mindful of rips and longshore drift when you hit the water. The scenery is mostly virgin, adding to the overall charm of the spot, though there are talks of a hotel being developed at the El Palmar end, which could change the dynamics in the future. For now, it remains a peaceful place to surf and enjoy the beach.
