Cala del Plomo, Natural beach in Níjar, Spain.
This sandy beach extends 260 meters in length and 35 meters in width, framed by limestone cliffs along the Mediterranean coast.
The beach area contained an ancient Arabic well called Noria de Sangre del Cortijo del Plomo, which attracted Barbary pirates searching for water supplies.
The beach sits within the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, featuring examples of traditional Levantine rural architecture including the Cortijo de la Huerta de Enmedio.
Visitors can reach the beach via the AL-5106 road, with the nearest marina, Puerto Deportivo San José, located 10 kilometers away.
The geological formations surrounding the beach contain reef limestone formations, classified as a special regulation coastal zone within the natural park.
