San Nicolás, Urban beach in Adra, Spain
San Nicolás is an urban beach in Adra along the Mediterranean coast featuring distinctive olive-colored sand and a width of around 35 meters. The shoreline stretches for approximately 600 meters, creating a linear space where visitors can walk, swim, and relax.
The beach developed from a working fishing area into a public recreational space over time. Its location next to the Port of Adra remains a defining feature of the place.
Local fishermen continue their centuries-old traditions at the neighboring port, while the beach provides a space for community gatherings and summer activities.
The beach has showers, restrooms, and play areas for visitors of different ages. Proximity to the yacht club makes this location attractive for water sports enthusiasts.
The combination of dark olive sand and Mediterranean waters creates distinct color variations throughout the day, especially during sunrise and sunset hours.
