Playa de Puntas de Calnegre, Mediterranean beach in Lorca, Spain
Playa de Puntas de Calnegre is a Mediterranean beach in Murcia featuring golden sand mixed with gravel across approximately 1100 meters of shoreline. Rock formations frame both ends of the beach, and the water typically shows moderate wave patterns.
The area became a protected regional park established to safeguard the natural Mediterranean coastline and its marine life. This protection grew from recognition that the coastal zone holds ecological value worth preserving.
The shoreline here holds a place in local life through small-scale fishing, where boats head out to sea following seasonal patterns that locals have long observed. This connection to the water remains visible in how the coastal community uses the waters today.
The beach is accessible via the RM-D21 road at kilometer marker 7, with parking facilities and basic amenities including restrooms and outdoor showers. Arriving early during peak season helps ensure a comfortable spot along the shoreline.
The shoreline manages to keep both developed facilities and natural features in balance, setting it apart from typical urban beaches. Native coastal plants and rock formations remain visible despite the presence of visitor amenities.
