Almería is the second province in Andalusia with the most kilometers of coastline, only behind Cadiz, and the second with the most kilometers of Mediterranean coastline in all of Spain. A combination that makes this territory an ideal place to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and the impressive beaches created by the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, we are going to recommend the beaches of Almería that you cannot miss on your trip to the south.
Considered "the paradise of the south" by The New York Times, its more than 200 kilometers of coastline make it an ideal destination for tourists looking for areas of authentic nature and virgin beaches in the heart of the Mediterranean, something not so easy to find.
According to National Geographic, the best beach is Ensenada de Mónsul, located in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. It is a living dune that creates a spectacular landscape with turquoise waters and rough sands. It is undoubtedly a postcard-perfect beach. Secondly, it is worth highlighting the famous Los Genoveses beach, also located in this Gata-Níjar enclave, a beach that occupies the entire bay. Without nearby buildings and surrounded by nature, it gives that look sought after in virgin beaches.
If we talk about beaches in Almería, we also have to talk about Aguadulce beach in the town of Roquetas de Mar. Only 8 kilometers from Almería, this is one of the best-known on the entire coast. In addition, access is much easier than the previous two beaches, something recommended if traveling with children or the elderly.
Los Muertos beach also gained significant fame, being one of the most famous on the Almería coast. The crystal-clear waters and cliffs form one of the most impressive landscapes in the province. However, to access it, you have to travel by car through the popular Tabernas desert. Finally, Carboneras beach has the same water quality as the most famous beaches and is usually somewhat less frequented, perfect for tourists looking for more tranquility. In addition, access to it is easier.
Almería not only has impressive beaches, but also many coves that you cannot miss. The best proof of this is Cala de Enmedio, a cove of a few meters and completely virgin. The fine sand and turquoise water make this small cove ideal for enjoying and spending a day in the middle of paradise. In addition, only in the month of August is it more frequented by visitors, the rest of the year there is greater privacy.
