Cala Cortina, Mediterranean beach in Cartagena, Spain.
The 210-meter-long beach combines golden sand with gravel sections along its shoreline, bordered by natural limestone cliffs near the Mediterranean Sea.
The beach has maintained its natural state through centuries, serving as a traditional leisure destination for Cartagena residents since the early 1900s.
Local families gather at Cala Cortina during summer evenings to share meals at beachfront restaurants while watching the sunset over the Mediterranean.
The beach provides essential facilities including restrooms, showers, waste bins, and a designated children's play area, with parking available near the entrance.
Located four kilometers from Cartagena's center, the beach maintains 20-meter width throughout its length, creating an enclosed bay effect.
