Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala Higuera (Almeria) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Higuera (Almeria) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Higuera for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

This hidden gem of a beach is the perfect spot for a family outing. With its secluded location, it offers a peaceful atmosphere, and the kids will love climbing the rocks. The snorkeling around the cliffs is superb, making it a great destination for a fun day out.

The anchorage was far from impressive. It was a rather uneventful spot, lacking in any kind of excitement. The peace was nice, but it was nothing special.

This place is a fantastic nature reserve with great walks that offer spectacular mountain and sea views. We walked about 3 to 4 miles from San José, taking in some incredible rock formations and cliffs. As we made our way up and down the paths, we could hear the goat/cow bells and were treated to a herd of goats way up high. The paths were a little rocky due to the stormy weather, so caution is advised. Despite this, it is a great place to walk with amazingly green scenery for the south east of Spain. We were also lucky enough to spot a variety of wild flowers and a bright red beaked Finch. easily accessible, making it a great recommendation.

We had a wonderful day at the beach, which is just a 15-minute bike ride away from San Jose. We had a great time swimming, snorkeling, and relaxing. Plus, there's a great bar right next door for lunch. What's more, the beach has lovely brown pebbles, making it an even better experience.
