Playa de Garrucha is a sandy beach in the municipality of Garrucha, in the province of Almería, Andalusia, on Spain's southeastern Mediterranean coast, about 400 km from Madrid. The beach lies in the town of Garrucha itself, so the sand sits directly against the built-up waterfront.

Garrucha lies in the province of Almería, in Andalusia, on Spain's southeastern Mediterranean coast, about 400 km from Madrid. The beach belongs to the municipality of Garrucha, a town whose growth was tied to fishing and maritime trade before it drew beach visitors.

Garrucha's fishing fleet still lands its catch at the harbour beside the beach, and the town's restaurants and bars serve it the same day, often grilled or in rice dishes. The name Garrucha comes from the old fishing settlement that grew around this stretch of sand.

The beach has lifeguard coverage and shaded rest areas throughout the year for visitor safety and comfort. Accessible facilities and parking spaces are available, with extra parking added during the busy summer months.

The beach offers amphibious chairs and trained staff to help visitors enjoy water activities regardless of physical ability. This thoughtful setup allows people with different mobility needs to participate in swimming and water recreation comfortably.
