Cala Botella

Cala Botella, also known as Cala Mayor, is a cove on the south side of the Cabo de Palos peninsula, next to the paseo del Acantilado, between Playa del Cura and Canto Colorado. It is part of the chain of small coves along the southern coast of the cape.

What it is like

It is a rocky cove between cliffs, with difficult access. As at almost every cove on this coast, you go down to the water along paths and steps cut into the rock.

Getting here

You reach it on foot from Cabo de Palos, along the paseo del Acantilado. Very close by, to the west, is Playa del Cura. For more places to swim, see the beaches and coves of the area.
