One of the best sandy beaches in Spain. Beautiful clear water and beach is fairly quiet unlike other European packed beaches during the season. As it’s a nature park be sure to take plenty of drinks and snacks with you as you will not find any service facilities available. There is a bus service that runs hourly to and from the San Jose so you can park your car in the main town and hop on the bus as there is limited parking facilities at the beach. Worth a visit if you...

Lovely beach and part of one of my favourite films! (Indiana Jones). Was a real treat to come here. In comparison with other beaches it's not as nice to spend a whole day on, we stayed around 3 hours. It's quite open so if it's windy it gets quite cold, but we were there in low season. The car park is small, we went early so were fine, but in high season I imagine you can only get the bus here, so be prepared! No shops, cafes or loos either, so pack a...

One of the beaches in Europe. Very clean, great sand and very shallow slope into the sea. A beautiful place not to be missed. There are signs for the beach as you reach San Jose. It is about 4km on an unsurfaced road. There is parking which is a short walk away. This is not free in high season, €5 this summer. I understand that parking can be a problem in July/August. Take plenty of drinking water/food as there are no facilities of any kind at or...

Great, great place. Ideal for swimming, sunbathing (watch out!), trekking, sightseeing, snorkelling, reading, breathing, daydreaming. Crystal-clear chilled water in this Mediterranean unique volcanic geography. Visit Cabo de Gata's beaches in low season - autumn through spring - and you will get the most of the experience. In summer the management of the natural park has established restrictions for entering, then just go earlier in the morning and get the bus.

Highly overrated. For any beach between Playa de los Genoveses and Cala Carbon there was a 6eur/ car fee to enter. We arrived at 2 pm, waited 1 hour in line. The beach was windy, the sand was extremely sticky and got everywhere. There were no showers or freshwater fountains. The positive part is that the places are limited so it would not get overcrowded, the water was clear, which allowed some snorkeling l, but there weren't that many things to see.
