Playa El Corral, Mediterranean beach in Carboneras, Spain
Playa El Corral is a Mediterranean beach in Carboneras stretching about 250 meters with sand and gravel surfaces. Rocky formations on either side create sheltered coves that define the beach's natural boundaries.
The beach sits within a protected environmental zone established to preserve the natural coastal ecosystem. This designation has prevented significant development and kept the shoreline largely unchanged over time.
The beach is woven into daily life in Carboneras, where residents come to swim and walk along the shore. Its role as a meeting place reflects the community's deep connection to the Mediterranean coast.
The beach is reached via the AL-5106 road with parking available near the entrance. Arriving early in the morning helps secure a spot and allows you to experience the quieter conditions the shoreline typically offers.
The water is clear enough to observe underwater creatures directly from the surface on calm days. This transparency makes the shallow areas near shore particularly rewarding for anyone interested in snorkeling.
