From Puerto de Santa Maraa drive towards Cadiz direction and you will find Valdelagrana, drive to the beach and you will find the place left of the beach looking seaward. Drive further south to get to the West facing part of the beach.
In summer check with the locals for rules. If too packed, go further south down the beach.
Puerto de Santa Maria is great in summer, in winter is OK on weekends.
