Almeria eastern coast

The diversity of the landscape and the changing coastline is what gives Almería's Levante, or eastern coast, its unique personality, and is without a doubt its prime appeal to tourists.

This coastline, reaching from the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park to the border with the province of Murcia, offers tourists everything from wide golden fine-sand sand beaches to sheer cliffs and secluded coves.

The abrupt coastline gives a special charm to fishing villages like Garrucha and Mojácar, which perch high and unspoilt above the sea below. To the area's four Blue Flag beaches, one in Vera (Las Marinas-Bolagas), another in Garrucha and two more in Carboneras (El Ancon and Los Barquicos) we must add the numerous secluded beaches, such as Los Muertos and Cala Cristal, which are, obviously, ideal settings for the practice of naturism.

In particular, the Playazo de Vera boasts a reserved area for naturists, including hotels and facilities enjoyed by visitors from all over Europe. Monuments, such as the Terrenos and Isla Negra, both in Pulpí, or the Cabo de Gata Níjar Natural Park, give visitors an idea of the peace and quiet to be enjoyed in this part of the province.

For those wishing a bit more action, they can head for golf courses like Desert Spring Golf in Cuevas del Almanzora, gather for coffee at the Garrucha marina, or scuba dive, water ski, or walk along a nature trail.
