Playa de El Portús, Mediterranean beach in Cartagena, Spain
Playa de El Portús is a Mediterranean beach in Cartagena featuring fine sand and gravel stretching across a scenic coastal setting with mountain views. The water is shallow and welcoming, with designated areas serving different visitor preferences.
The beach sits within the Sierra de la Muela Nature Reserve, which has protected this coastal area since 1992. This conservation status shaped how the beach developed and remained largely unaltered over the decades.
The beach has two distinct areas: one for conventional swimmers and another section, Cala Morena, known among naturist visitors who use the nearby camping facilities.
Access is via the RM-332 road from Cartagena, with bus service available during the summer season on the ALSA line 12. Wooden pathways and facilities make the beach accessible for all visitors throughout the day.
The beach features specially designed wooden walkways and modular bathroom facilities that allow visitors with limited mobility to enjoy the shoreline comfortably. This infrastructure reflects a commitment to inclusive beach access within a protected natural setting.
