Today's garbage collection in Playa La Barra, and so almost every day in any cove or beach in Cabo de Palos, both in the water and on land.

Spectacular views and a beautiful walk along its cliffs

Quiet and uncrowded beach, especially during the week. It is a very small beach with a lot of rocks, where you can dive. The water is crystal clear, it is ideal for children, since it covers very little.

In Cabo de Palos, looking south, is this quiet beach, somewhat stony but typical and authentic and unmatched for those who love the Mediterranean the most and bordered by homes of people who feel that way. To fish with I can't see it as ideal.
