Torregarcía, Olive sand beach in Almería, Spain.
Torregarcía is a beach with olive-colored sand stretching 1800 meters along the Mediterranean, with a width of 90 meters. The shoreline contains both sandy and pebbly sections, while the water experiences moderate wave action.
A 16th-century watchtower and an ancient Roman fish processing facility remain at this location. These structures show how the coast was defended and how trade developed over centuries.
Local celebrations happen on the beach throughout the year, bringing together residents and visitors who share regional food and music. These gatherings reflect everyday customs and how people enjoy this part of the coast.
Access is via dirt roads suitable for vehicles, with more than 100 parking spaces near the shore. Keep in mind that this is a protected nature area, so visitors should treat the surroundings with care.
The beach sits within a protected nature park that keeps its natural character largely undeveloped. This protection allows visitors to spot coastal plants and bird species that would disappear if the area were built up.
