Beach overall scores
Playa del Penon Blanco (Almeria) region (Almería Coast sub-region) is located outside the La Isleta del Moro 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 and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa del Penon Blanco with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., 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.

"This little cove is a real gem! The sand is made up of volcanic elements, making it quite unique. It's also conveniently located near the fishing village of Islola del Mor, so you don't have to travel far for a great day out. perfect for a leisurely stroll and is a great way to escape the hustle and bustle of the bigger beach towns. Highly recommended!"
