Playa del Barronal — Attraction in Níjar

It is our 7/10, which is very high! Hear me out!

So! It is lovely, dark sand beach. If you get to the water is nice, slowly go deeper and deeper. No any steep surprises. At least not to the point where we were able to go. There's no pebbles in the water. Just a few huge rocks, so you'll see them. You don't need any water shoes here.

It is nudist and nudist beach only. Very private. We visited it on 27th September 2024. On that day there were only two more couples.

I can't say how it looks in other days, but on that day the wind was 47 km/h. Huge waves! On normal beach you would fly away with your tent/umbrella. Here, because of cliff you can hide yourself and still fry your ass on a sun.

It is surrounded by high cliffs. No one is passing by, as there's only one way to get in and get out.

Drive here is relatively easy. We parked along the road on a right side close to the google point of this beach. Road is not paved for about 5km, but don't worry. Even low suspension would be fine and can go 30-50 km/h with no stress. (although it is like that on the day of writing this! It may change over time)

Getting to the beach isn't crazy easy, but possible in flip-flops if you will take a path between the two hills.

Hive a heart of you appreciate an effort...

I have no idea what some of your contributors are saying. I wonder if they have visited the same place I have. You do not have to pay for parking and the beach today was 90% naturist. It’s a nice beach with plenty of space and the sand although it looks a bit dark is Ok to walk and lie on. It’s a bit disconcerting to see warning signs of riptides placed by the side of the road where you park but as long as you do not intend swimming out of your depth it’s ok. The water is very clear although today was a bit windy and the sea was a little rough and cold for June. The rock formations and the plants on the path are interesting and once you get to the top of the path the beach comes into sight and the trek feels not so bad. It’s a good naturist beach and well...

In summer you must arrive in the morning. We were turned away at 13.00 asc the Parc was full. However, next day we were allowed in. Park at the hut on the road. Your car will get splattered with mud from the tractor spraying water in the track. The walk is fine in flip flops but... very hot in July 2025! The beach is 100% nudist, so a relaxed atmosphere. The sea is cold compared to just an hour north east. Not busy even in July, they've seen to limit cars parked on the road. Bring water, wine and lunch. You won't be...
