Latest reviews on Carboneras's beaches

Playa Agua Amarga

6 Sophie Jaxon

This stunning little cove is the perfect place to hire a boat and take in the beautiful sea views. The restaurant here is simply lovely, making this a truly beautiful spot to visit. What's more, the beach here is known for its unique brown sand.

Cala de Enmedio

8 Elizabeth Cummings

The perfect spot to unwind and relax. The journey to get there may be lengthy, but the stunning views, and the historical sites you'll encounter along the way, make it well worth it. Make sure to bring plenty of water, as it can get quite warm depending on the season.

Playa de la Mena

6 Danielle Milnthorpe

The beach wasn't particularly impressive. It was nothing special and was quite average. The sand was dull and the water was murky. It was far from being a great beach.

Playa de los Muertos

6 Pierre Alexandre.

The beach was anything but beautiful. It was difficult to go down without flip flops, and the water was too cold for swimming, let alone snorkeling.

Lead Creek

8 Kiril Miletic

Lead Creek is definitely worth the 7 km drive on a dirt road! The sea is beautiful and clear, with warm waters, and the sand is a great mix of white and black. Highly recommended!

Playa de las Martinicas

8 Juanita Lago

We had to come up with a plan B after Playa de los Muertos was too crowded to fit a car (it was Thursday, August 4th) and we discovered this amazing beach with its soft sand, showers, beach bar, palm trees (we didn't even need to use our umbrella) and the best part was that the closest person was more than 15m away. Highly recommend!

The warmest month during the year in this area is August, with the air temperature rising up to 30.4°C and the water temperature up to 25°C. The coldest month is January, with the air temperature dropping down to 15.3°C and the water temperature down to 15.4°C.
