Seventy metres of grey sand and rocks near the lighthouse

Cala Roja is a cove in Cabo de Palos, near the lighthouse, among a series of rocky coves. It has about 70 metres of south-facing shore and is very narrow, about 4 metres on average, with a mix of grey sand and rocks. You go down to the water by stone steps.

What to bring

There are rocks at the entrance, so water shoes are a good idea.
