Beach at a glance
What it is like
Cala Arenas is a succession of three similar coves, made up of gravel and rocks, in an isolated, mountainous setting in Algeciras. Together they reach 400 metres in length and 30 metres in width, with calm waters and low visitor numbers, and retain an unspoilt character according to the listing. Access begins at the Getares development along a very vegetated path and is difficult on foot; the nearest road is that of the Punta Europa development. There is also an interurban bus connection.
