Beach overall scores
Playa de Calabarrilla (Murcia) region (Costa Cálida sub-region) is located outside the Aguilas 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 Playa de Calabarrilla, 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
"This secluded beach is not easy to get to, making it a hidden gem. Its isolated location means that it's not always crowded and is a great spot to get away from the hustle and bustle. However, its inaccessibility can be a hassle, as it can be difficult to get to."
Natalia Lopez
"This place is far from breathtaking, and not really suitable for a stroll. The scenery is lacklustre, and it's not particularly enjoyable to take a walk here."
