Best places: Beaches in Almeria, Spain

Tranquil beach flanked by volcanic rocks & known as a popular movie location, plus snorkeling.

👍👍 This is the most beautiful beach I've been in Europe, although small, but the sea is full of life! We saw at least 30 different species of fish, sea urchins, shells etc. You can swim around a large rock and find little caves. The trip is around 40 mins from Almeria, but it worth it! Don't stop on th...

👍 I have no idea what some of your contributors are saying. I wonder if they have visited the same place I have. You do not have to pay for parking and the beach today was 90% naturist. It’s a nice beach with plenty of space and the sand although it looks a bit dark is Ok to walk and lie on. It’s a bi...

Virgin beach in Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park with fine sand, small dunes & a rugged hiking trail.

Picturesque beach with calm swimming waters, mountains & an old castle on a fossilized dune.

👍 Even at busy times its not too crowded

👍 Me encanta esta playa, es de mi favoritas. No es nada profunda para los pequeños. La arena es muy fina fácil de quitar. Lo único malo es que tienes que ir temprano para coger sitio porque es pequeña.

👍👍 Superb beach with showers, outdoor, facilities for children and coffee houses/tapas chiringuitos close by. And they do have toilets for their customers...useful to know! If you're a Pokemon player, there's a Pokestop!

👍👍 Mi playa bonita, extensa, con algunas palmeras, espigones de rocas para los que quieran practicar submarinismo de tranquileo, ideal para ir con la familia, atardeceres muy bonitos pues que es el sol se pone cerca del mar y pinta el cielo de unos colores muy bonitos. El paseo marítimo se extiende jus...

This unassuming rocky beach features swimming & offers views of the ocean & hills.

👍👍 Great beach, easy parking next to it. Close to the beach there is "Duna Fósil de Los Escullos" where you can have a short hike, take great pictures and enjoy fantastic views.

👍👍 Like most of the coves in Almería, it is beautiful, wonderful. And as is usual given the type of place, there are no said and access is not easy if you have reduced mobility, there is no lifeguard service either, but it is a semi-wild cove. If you want an urbanized beach, refrain from going to the c...

Urban beach with showers, restrooms & a first aid facility, plus kids' play equipment & a boardwalk.

👍 Llevo muchos años disfrutando de esta magnífica playa de mas de un kilómetro en pleno Golfo de Almería. Destaca porque tiene todos los servicios, como puestos de salvamento, aseos, plataformas de madera de acceso, aparcamientos, duchas y algunos chiringuitos. Siempre ha sido una playa muy tranquila,...

🫤 Highly overrated, I would not recommend nor visit it again. It's a public free beach, but it had the worst 'sand' I've seen. It was made of small rocks mixed with dirt, so every time someone took a step a cloud of dust raised. Since there were a lot of beach ball fields, all occupied, the players m...

👍👍 Cala de piedras, con arena en algún rincón. Muy recomendable para hacer Snorkel y ver peces delante de la playa. A la derecha, pasando unas rocas, hay una pequeñísima cala d e muy fácil acceso. Suele haber corrientes fuertes del mar. Como en todas las calas de Cabo de Gata, vale la pena ir a primer...

👍 Very scenic, but small and pebbly beach with little privacy. Looks good for snorkling. Good mobile reception.

👍👍 Great beach café(s) with toilets and pleasant staff. A shower in the middle of the beach - it's a bit dribbly but OK. Good waves. Interesting cliffs. Nice sand. A very pleasant spot, indeed the favourite beach of some people we know.

In addition to its wide sandy beach, this scenic locale features a promenade & cafes.
