Playa de Fatares, Mediterranean beach in Canteras, Spain.
Playa de Fatares is a Mediterranean beach in Cartagena stretching about 400 meters along the coastline. The shore features golden sand mixed with gravel and offers moderate waves suitable for swimming.
The area around the beach was inhabited and used during Roman times. Archaeological discoveries in the late 1980s revealed Roman amphorae found in the waters, showing early maritime activity.
The beach is part of the Costa Cálida region, where Mediterranean landscape connects with local maritime traditions. Visitors and residents use this space to connect with the sea and its heritage.
The beach has no direct road access. Visitors can reach it by walking through the Sierra de la Muela natural area or arriving by boat from nearby areas.
From the shore, visitors can see Isla de las Palomas, a small island about one kilometer offshore in the Mediterranean. This distant island is a distinctive feature of the seascape here.
