Ensenada de la Media Luna

Ensenada de la Media Luna is a beach on the Mediterranean coast in Almería Province that curves between towering rock cliffs. The waters are clear and the shoreline remains largely undeveloped, creating a secluded cove feel.

The beach received formal protection status in 2008 to safeguard its natural environment. This designation reflects growing recognition of the ecological value found along this stretch of Mediterranean coastline.

Local residents and visitors gather at this clothing-optional beach, reflecting the liberal coastal traditions of southern Mediterranean Spain.

You can reach the cove via marked paths from nearby parking areas along the AL-3115 road. The beach has no formal facilities like piers or boardwalks, so comfortable walking shoes are helpful for access.

The crescent-shaped cove takes its name from its distinctive crescent form, a natural formation that guides the waters perfectly. The surrounding cliffs provide natural shelter and create a sense of complete remoteness from the rest of the coast.
