Beaches and coves

One of the main charms of Cabo de Gata are its lovely Beaches and Coves. At Los Escullos, located in the heart of the natural park, you’ll find yourself very close to the best beaches and coves. Most of them are unspoiled beaches without services or supervision, so we advise you to be careful, always carry plenty of water and remove your trash when you leave.

Some beaches and coves are specifically nudists, but nudity is accepted and common in most of them.
