"Which is the best cove in Almería?" is a very difficult question, and as you know, it is a very, very subjective answer. But we are going to get down to the nitty gritty and give you the reasons why we think so.
The best cove in Almería is Cala de Enmedio, a cove located in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park. We have to emphasize that we are referring to "cove" and not to "beach", but we do not want to leave out such special coves and beaches as Playa del Mónsul, Playa de los Muertos, Playa de los Escullos, Cala del Playazo, Playa de las Salinas, Playa de los Genoveses, etc...
Cala de Enmedio, the best cove in Almeria
For many, the best cove in Almeria is Cala de Enmedio and there are several reasons for this. However, if you decide to visit it, you will realise why it is the best cove in Almeria.
To access it you have to walk a little way because it is a little off the road. This may seem a disadvantage for some, but for many others it is an advantage, as it is not so easy to access, making it a less busy and quieter cove. When you park your car in the car park, from this point you can walk to Cala de Enmedio and other coves such as Cala del Plomo. The stretch from the car park to the Cala de Enmedio is 2 kilometres, but you will walk along a visible path which will take you 20 to 30 minutes.
Of course, if you decide to walk from the car park to the Cala de Enmedio during the summer months, take water and a cap... and enjoy yourself.
How to get to the best cove of Almeria
One way to access the beach, and possibly the most fun, is with a kayak. This way you will discover more corners of the coast of Almeria, hidden between coves and coves, and at the same time, you can enjoy more beaches for a whole morning. Here are some places where you can rent a kayak in Cabo de Gata or go on an excursion.
Other ways to get to Cala de Enmedio, the best cove in Almeria for us and for many other people, is to walk from other coves such as Cala del Plomo and from Agua Amarga. From Cala del Plomo it's a 1.7km walk, and in 20 minutes you'll be there. But in this post we leave you more about the Enmedio Cove.
Why Cala de Enmedio is the best cove in Almería
This cove of "not so easy access", is relatively small, as it will not be more than 150 metres long. The best thing about it is that it is one of the quietest in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, although in summer it gets a bit more crowded, but we can say that it is one of the most unspoilt and least crowded in the whole area.
Its fine, pebble-free sand allows you to enjoy the shore without the need to wear booties, and above all it makes it very easy to snorkel and discover the seabed of the Natural Park area.
On the beach itself, you'll be fascinated by the whitish-white fossilised dunes, but for many it's also a great spot for Instagram photos of the summer.
