Cala de San Pedro, Natural beach in Níjar, Spain
Cala de San Pedro extends 225 meters in length and 17 meters in width, featuring white sands against turquoise Mediterranean waters.
The beach area contains remnants of an 18th-century watchtower, built as part of the coastal defense system against Mediterranean pirates.
The beach maintains a naturist section where visitors practice clothing-optional bathing, following Mediterranean coastal traditions.
Access requires a 40-minute walk from Las Negras village or a 15-minute boat ride, with no direct vehicle access to the beach.
A natural freshwater spring creates an unexpected oasis near the beach, supporting subtropical vegetation in this otherwise arid region.
