"The beach is fairly clean, but the water is quite chilly due to the Atlantic current. You won't find any vendors, so it's best to purchase drinks before leaving Ceuta or head a couple of kilometers to the Benzu neighborhood where you can grab a nice cup of tea at one of the cafeterias."
Luis Miguel Ramos García
"If you're looking for a more secluded beach experience, this is the place to go. It's not very crowded since you need a vehicle to get there. The water is incredibly clear, but be warned, it's also quite chilly."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Playa Calamocarro (Ceuta) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Playa Calamocarro (Ceuta) 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 Playa Calamocarro for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
