Beach overall scores
Playa de la Galera (Murcia) region (Costa Cálida sub-region) is located outside the El Cantal 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 la Galera 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 place is a great spot to visit if you're feeling adventurous and don't mind a bit of dirt. The road leading to the beach is accessible by car, but you'll need to take extra care when driving. Although it's not the softest beach around, the sand is still present and the water is crystal clear - a great reward for the journey."
Juan Carlos
"The beach is accessible via an unpaved road with a mainly sandy bottom, and is covered in a layer of soft, gray pebbles."
