Cala Arenas, Gravel beach in Algeciras, Spain.

This coastal formation consists of three distinct coves stretching over 400 meters in length and 30 meters in width along the Costa del Sol.

Archaeological findings near the beach indicate the presence of a Phoenician port and watchtower used for maritime control over the Strait of Gibraltar.

The beach forms part of El Estrecho Natural Park, representing the geological heritage of the Baetic System in Campo de Gibraltar.

Access to the beach requires following a vegetation-lined path from Getares urbanization, with public bus services available from multiple locations.

The beach features a geological composition of marl, sandstone, and mica known as Algeciras Flysch, dating from the Eocene-Oligocene period.
