El Algarrobico, Golden sand beach in Cabo de Gata, Spain.
The 1350-meter-long beach extends along clear waters with a combination of sand, small pebbles, and natural rock formations.
The Torre del Rayo watchtower, constructed in 1584, stands near the beach as part of the Spanish coastal defense system.
The beach represents current Spanish environmental protection efforts, balancing tourism development with natural area preservation.
Visitors can reach the beach by car through Carboneras, with designated parking areas available near the shoreline.
An unfinished hotel structure stands at the beach, marking a long-term legal dispute between developers and environmental organizations.
