Playa de la Mamola, Mediterranean beach in La Mamola, Spain
Playa de la Mamola is a sandy beach on the Costa Tropical coast with dark volcanic sand stretching over several hundred meters. The shoreline is backed by mountains and the water is clean for swimming.
The settlement began as a small fishing village and gradually developed into a beach destination while keeping its maritime roots. The growth remained slow and maintained local character.
The place remains a fishing community where you can see workers tending to boats and nets along the shore, and local restaurants serve daily catches.
The beach has showers, restrooms, and parking nearby for visitors. Medical assistance is available if you need it during your visit.
The dark volcanic sand here formed through geological processes and stands out from typical light-colored beaches in the region. This black color makes the place instantly recognizable and gives the water a special quality.
