Calabajío, Mediterranean beach in Almuñécar, Spain
Calabajío is a roughly 170-meter beach with golden sand and clear water along the Tropical Coast of Andalusia. It sits nestled between small rocky outcrops and offers views across the surrounding Mediterranean coastline.
Phoenician, Roman, and Moorish peoples settled this coastal area and established maritime trade networks that connected surrounding regions. Archaeological remains scattered through Almuñécar document these layers of occupation.
Local fishermen deliver their daily catch to nearby restaurants, where chefs prepare meals using traditional Andalusian recipes passed down through generations. This connection between sea and table shapes how people here eat and gather.
The beach offers showers, toilets, lifeguard services, and parking. You can reach it easily from the N-340 coastal road, which provides straightforward access to the shoreline.
This beach sits away from central tourist areas, tucked between small coves where fewer visitors arrive compared to nearby popular spots. Its out-of-the-way location means you need to seek it out rather than stumble upon it by chance.
