Playa El Muerto, Mediterranean beach in Almuñécar, Spain

Playa El Muerto is a dark sandy beach with gravel sections along the Almuñécar coastline. The shoreline features small rocky outcrops and a sheltered cove area that creates distinct swimming zones.

The beach is reached from Playa del Cotobro by a footpath, and an old trail starting here leads along the coast to the Punta de la Mona lighthouse, the route known as the ruta de los pescadores. The site consists of a main beach and a small cove linked by a pedestrian path.

The beach is nudist, though textile bathers also come. From it, an old path starts the Ruta de los Pescadores, which ends at the Punta de la Mona lighthouse. Its chiringuito hosts cultural activities.

The beach is accessed from Cotobro through clearly marked pathways that are easy to follow from the town. Basic facilities such as waste bins and seasonal cleaning help maintain the area during peak visiting times.

From the beach begins the Ruta de los Pescadores, an old fishermen's path that ends at the Punta de la Mona lighthouse. The beach also has a chiringuito that hosts cultural activities.
