Calilla del Playazo, Sandy beach cove in Níjar, Spain
The beach features a natural sandy shore extending along fossil dunes, offering direct access to the Mediterranean Sea within Cabo de Gata Natural Park.
The cove sits near San Ramon Castle, constructed in 1764 under King Carlos III's reign to protect the coastline from frequent pirate attacks.
Local residents maintain traditional fishing practices in the waters near Calilla del Playazo, continuing methods passed down through generations of Mediterranean communities.
Visitors can reach the beach through a stone path from the parking area, and while the cove lacks facilities, it connects to Playazo de Rodalquilar via a five-minute walk.
The beach contains a natural rocky formation with a hole leading to an underwater cave system, creating opportunities for diving exploration.
