Caletes del Cap, Mediterranean beach in Santa Pola, Spain.
Caletes del Cap is a series of small coves nestled along the coast, separated from each other by rocky outcrops that create distinct sections. Each inlet offers its own sheltered beach area with calm water and rocky surroundings.
The coves provided refuge for fishermen over many centuries, offering protection from storms and reliable fishing grounds. This role as a working shoreline has remained central to the area's identity throughout time.
This coastal spot has long been connected to local fishing families who passed down their knowledge of the waters across generations. Visitors today can observe how traditional maritime practices continue to shape the rhythms of the area.
Reaching the coves involves walking across rocky and uneven ground, so sturdy shoes are necessary for comfortable access. Bring water and snacks with you, as there are no facilities or services available at the beach.
The sheltered coves act as natural gathering spots where various Mediterranean fish species congregate in the shallow waters. This happens because the rocky formations create protected zones where marine creatures feel safe to approach the shore.
