While the park offers a network of gravel-friendly paths, two notable routes that incorporate gravel sections are the multi-stage Gravel Tour Cádiz, designed for bikepacking adventures, and the Corredor Verde Dos Bahías, a 93 km itinerary connecting the bays of Cádiz and Algeciras, known for its varied terrain.
Parking is available at various access points around the park, particularly near municipalities like San Fernando, Puerto Real, and Chiclana de la Frontera. For popular areas like Toruños Metropolitan Park, dedicated parking lots are usually provided. It's advisable to arrive early, especially on weekends or during peak season, as spaces can fill up quickly.

Local bus services often have stops near park entrances or trailheads. Checking local bus schedules for routes serving the park's perimeter is recommended for planning your visit without a car.
Many sections of the park feature compact gravel paths that are relatively flat and suitable for families. The areas with wooden boardwalks and those within Toruños Metropolitan Park are generally very accessible and offer a pleasant experience for all ages. However, some unpaved sections can be more challenging, so it's best to choose routes designated as easy or moderate for family outings.

Beginners should look for routes described as 'easy' or 'moderate'. The compact gravel paths, particularly those bordering the natural park from San Fernando to Chiclana, are a good starting point.

The park's history is deeply intertwined with human activity, particularly traditional fishing methods like the 'corrales de pesca' and salt production in the 'esteros' (salt pans), practices that date back to Phoenician and Roman times. This long-standing human presence has shaped the unique environment, where ancient traditions continue alongside conservation efforts, offering insights into sustainable practices.
