Cala del Barranco Ancho (Murcia) region (Costa Cálida sub-region) is located outside the Canada de Gallego 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, 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 secluded beach is a paradise for those looking to get away from it all. The pristine sand and crystal clear waters make it the perfect spot for a romantic getaway or an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The untouched nature of the cove creates an idyllic atmosphere that can't be found anywhere else."
