Spain's 56 Most Breathtaking Beachside Towns Worth A Visit
35. Carboneras, Almería: Raw Beauty on the Cabo de Gata
On the edge of the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, Carboneras feels wild and wonderfully undeveloped. Its long, uncrowded beach is backed by desert hills, with crystal-clear waters ideal for kayaking or a quiet swim. Unlike neighboring towns, Carboneras still operates as a fishing village, and its local market bursts with authenticity. From here, you can boat to Playa de los Muertos—one of Spain’s most striking beaches. Come for the untamed landscapes, stay for the slow pace, the tapas with views, and the feeling that you’ve truly escaped.
