Beach guide for the Costa Calida

There are well over a hundred beaches along the Costa Calida – from tiny, deserted coves only accessible by boat, to vast stretches of beach with every facility imaginable. As a taster, the area’s ten Blue Flag beaches are listed here, but it is well worth exploring other beaches in the area – particularly as the Blue Flag beaches can get very crowded in the peak holiday season.
