Best Sandy Beaches

Almería’s coastline spans from developed urban promenades to the volcanic landscapes of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. The city beaches, such as El Zapillo and Nueva Almería, offer wide sandy shores and full accessibility. Moving east, the terrain shifts into protected ecological reserves featuring fossilized dunes at Las Amoladeras and the Las Salinas salt pans. This selection includes historical sites like Cala del Búnker’s Civil War defenses and the traditional fishing village atmosphere of San Miguel de Cabo de Gata.
