About Almeria

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Almeria does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

La isleta beach

Playa los Bajos
6 Hope Ryder

That place is the perfect spot to unwind and get away from it all. With plenty of room to roam, you'll never feel cramped or rushed here. Take a deep breath of the salty air and let your worries drift away.

Playa la Serena
8 Unknown user

This place is great for families with kids, with its shallow waters and lovely atmosphere. However, the sand can be too hot on your feet and the water can be a bit too placid for some.

Vera Playa Naturist Beach
8 Dahlia Jones

The pictures of canines on the sand at this naturist beach may be misleading. Despite the visuals, this isn't a pup-friendly spot. The signs clearly state that no pets are allowed at any time of the year. I've taken my dogs for a walk here before and was scolded by the authorities. The only option is to take them for a stroll on the pathway at the rear of the beach, and only with a leash. Friends of mine have also been reprimanded by lifeguards for walking their pooches along the beach during peak season, and some German friends were even fined. If you want to take your furry friend for a walk, it's best to go to Palomares/Villaricos instead.

Playa del descargador
8 Johnathan Curran

A great spot for some peace and quiet, with plenty of free parking and miles of sand, but be sure to bring your beach shoes as the shore is quite pebbly.

Playa de Garrucha
8 Troy McTavish

This location is a great alternative to the busier beaches of Mojacar. The sand near the sea is incredibly soft and inviting, and the beach is easily accessible. It's a beautiful spot to spend the day!

Please note that lifeguards supervise 11 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 31.3°C and water up to 26°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 12.4°C and water to 15.7°C.
