Beach overall scores
Cala Chica (Almeria) region (Almería Coast sub-region) is located outside the Cortijo de Pascual settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"My favorite spot. A pristine beach with nothing but nature. Bring your own food and drinks - there are no amenities. A stunning bay, with sandy dunes behind it and striking cliffs on either side. A naturist beach, but it can get breezy at times. A perfect place to relax and unwind."
Amy Stewart
"The beach was anything but beautiful; it was huge and mostly desolate. It was so expansive that it was easy to take a stroll to the neighbouring beaches."
