Beach overall scores
Lead Creek (Almeria) region (Almería Coast sub-region) is located outside the La Joya 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 Lead Creek 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.
User reviews
"Visiting this beach is a great experience! The water is clear and has beautiful blue hues, making snorkeling a must-do activity. There's plenty of room to explore, however, be careful when entering the water as the first steps involve big rocks which could cause you to injure your foot."

"Lead Creek is definitely worth the 7 km drive on a dirt road! The sea is beautiful and clear, with warm waters, and the sand is a great mix of white and black. Highly recommended!"
