Characteristics published by official sources

Cala del Carnaje, also known as Los Bolos, is a remote beach in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Maritime-Terrestrial Natural Park, frequented by rod anglers. The shore consists of pebbles and measures 400 metres long by 20 metres wide; the setting is isolated and mountainous, with calm waters and low occupancy. Access requires walking a long way along dirt tracks from the AL-4200 road, making arrival difficult. The listing associates its nautical services with Club Náutico de San José.
