User reviews
"This place is a sight to behold. Although the access is a bit tricky when wearing flip flops, it's worth the effort. Even when the waves are small, they can be quite powerful near the rocky shore, making it hazardous to swim. If the conditions are tranquil, it's definitely worth a detour."
Kacper Zieliński
"Cala Penon Cortado is ideal for a peaceful getaway. The small size of the beach makes it perfect for taking a leisurely stroll, but make sure to wear sensible shoes. The warmth of the sun will make you feel relaxed and refreshed."

First of all Cala Penon Cortado (Almeria) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Penon Cortado for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
