Access to Islantilla by road is through highways that connect its two parent municipalities, Lepe and Isla Cristina, with the rest of Spain and Portugal.

​

The V Centenario Highway (A49) connects Seville with Ayamonte (on the border with Portugal), and has three different exits that correspond to the Islantilla destination:
 

• Exit 113: East Lepe.

• Exit 117: West Lepe.

• Exit 122: Cristina Island.

The most direct exit to reach Islantilla by motorway is number 117. Taken towards Lepe, it ends at the roundabout that connects with the new A-5076 motorway, which ends at Islantilla and La Antilla.
To access this destination by conventional highways, from exit 113 it connects with the N-431 national highway until reaching the municipality of Lepe, where you will take the A-5056 highway towards La Antilla. Once reached La Antilla, the signs to the left mark the beginning of Islantilla.
From exit 122 it also connects with the N-431 national road towards Isla Cristina through the district of Pozo del Camino, a route that runs along the A-5150 road. Once in the urban center of Isla Cristina, the town is bypassed through the Ronda Norte, which becomes the Carretera de La Antilla and this, in turn, the A-5054 road, which ends in Islantilla.
One last option is to access through Exit 117 Lepe Oeste in the direction of La Redondela, bypassing this nucleus through the HU-3400 road in the direction of the beach, and turning the beach roundabout to the left towards Islantilla at the intersection with the A-5054. This last route, like the one from Isla Cristina, runs parallel to Isla Cristina beach and its coastal forest of pine and eucalyptus trees.

From Portugal, the IP1 motorway connects the Algarve with Islantilla from its westernmost point (Cabo de San Vicente) to the border town of Ayamonte, from where it is possible to join the A49 towards Seville and take the same three exits mentioned above (113, 117 and 122).
