Beach overall scores
Cala del Sol (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 correct question is not how to get to Cala del Sol, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.
User reviews
"No longer accessible due to the recent storm, but its beauty can still be appreciated from afar. The mountain has lost its stones, however the sun-drawn rocks remain a sight to behold. It's best to take in the view from the shore or by kayaking or diving from the bitter water beach."
Clara Lina
"For those looking to get in shape, this is an ideal spot. However, it is important to stay hydrated and wear a hat to protect from the sun. While the trail is a bit treacherous, the beauty of the cove makes it worth the risk. Santo Tomás says it best, once is enough, no need to return."
