    Beaches in Cuevas del Almanzora

    Cabezo Negro
    Small pebble cove with difficult access, notable for its clear waters and the tranquillity of the surroundings.
    Cala Cristal
    Although there is no area specifically reserved for diving, Cala Cristal is highly recommended for diving and fishing due to the large number of rocks it contains.
    Cala de la Dolores
    La Cala de la Dolores lacks tourist interest and looks unwelcoming due to the state of its natural surroundings.
