Beach overall scores
Playa de Macenas (Almeria) region (Almería Coast sub-region) is located outside the Agua Enmedio 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 de Macenas 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
"This beach near Agua Enmedio is a great spot for a quiet and relaxed day - perfect for those with dogs. The sand might not be the softest, with a mix of pebbles and shale, but the view of the sea is worth the trek. The only downside is the huge hotel skeleton looming in the background, but it's still worth a visit!"
Anna Brown
"This place is a great choice if you want to avoid the crowds. It's a local favorite, so you won't find too many tourists here. You can park right by the beach and even camp overnight in your motorhome. a bit rocky, but with the right swim shoes, it's the perfect place to take a dip."
