Cala Barranco de Maro, Shingle beach in Nerja, Spain
Cala Barranco de Maro stretches between steep limestone cliffs, featuring a mix of pebbles and stones across its 20-meter shoreline near the Mediterranean Sea.
The beach area contains geological formations dating back millions of years, with layers of sedimentary rock revealing the evolution of the Mediterranean coastline.
Local fishermen continue their traditional practices along this section of coast, maintaining connections to centuries-old Mediterranean fishing methods.
Visitors need to bring their own supplies as the beach lacks facilities, and access requires a 10-minute walk down a marked path from the nearest parking area.
Marine researchers frequently study the diverse underwater ecosystem near the beach, where cold freshwater springs mix with Mediterranean waters, creating specific conditions for sea life.
