Cala Arena, Natural beach in Cabo de Gata Natural Park, Spain
The gray sand beach stretches 70 meters along the coast, bordered by rock formations and offering clear views of the Mediterranean Sea.
The beach sits within Cabo de Gata Natural Park, established in 1987 as the first maritime-terrestrial protected area in Andalusia.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices along this coastline, reflecting the enduring maritime heritage of the Almeria region.
Visitors need to walk 300 meters on a stone path with a gentle slope from the parking area to reach the beach.
The right side of the beach features distinct basalt columns that form natural geometric patterns in the cliff face.
