Cala de Bordenares

Cala de Bordenares

Cala de Bordenares stretches along the Andalusian Mediterranean coast, in the province of Almería, about 50 kilometers east of Almería city. This stretch of coastline, characterized by ochre cliffs and rock formations that gradually plunge towards the sea, belongs to one of Spain's most arid regions. The shore, shaped by millennia of marine erosion, alternates between narrow coves and small fine sandy beaches, offering a mineral landscape where vegetation is scarce. The beach itself features fine, golden sand, typical of the calas of Levante Almeriense. Less frequented than its immediate neighbors — Cala del Sombrerico is only 400 meters away and Playa Las Escalicas 800 meters away — it retains a quieter character, although the lack of natural protection exposes it to northerly sea winds. The water, crystal clear in summer, reveals a gradual sandy bottom ideal for the first few meters. The rocky banks framing the beach create welcome shaded areas during the hot hours, while the small rocky depths attract varied marine life. No facilities are available on site: no toilets, no designated parking, no showers. Bathing takes place without supervision. Access remains difficult for people with reduced mobility. This configuration makes it a favorite spot for visitors seeking solitude and who have their own transport, especially outside the summer season.
