Cala del Peñón Cortado

The 110-meter-long beach features a combination of sand and gravel shores surrounded by mountainous terrain along the Mediterranean coastline.

The beach area formed part of the ancient maritime routes where ships navigated between North Africa and the Spanish peninsula during the Phoenician period.

Local fishermen continue their traditional practices near the beach, maintaining connections to the regional maritime heritage of Andalusia.

Visitors need to bring necessary supplies as the beach lacks facilities, with the nearest services located in the town of Villaricos 4 kilometers away.

The mountainous backdrop creates moderate wave patterns that make this beach particularly suitable for bodyboarding throughout the summer season.
