Waterfront, overnight stays prohibited
04618, Cuevas del Almanzora
Been here?
4x4 access only
Getting here needs an off-road vehicle. Check your ground clearance before setting off.
A small waterfront off-road spot below the road, with exceptional views over the sea and nearby coves. However, it is in a Natura 2000 area where parking and overnight stays are not allowed, and the Guardia Civil has issued fines. Access is difficult and should be checked on foot beforehand. The site accommodates only a handful of vehicles.

Difficult to drive on. Best to inspect it on foot beforehand!
Natura 2000 area; parking and overnight stays are not allowed. The Guardia Civil issued fines today.
Excellent view and easy to reach.
Superb view over a magnificent cove, with swimming possible in several places. No overlooking neighbors, just the sound of the waves. No mosquitoes. Perfect for spending the night.
Beautiful spot right on the cliffs. Access to the water is very difficult. The place is very small, so at most a handful of vehicles can fit here.
We loved this little corner. The access is a bit difficult, but we had no problems going down or coming back up. We have a front-wheel-drive VW Crafter, 6.8 meters long, with full tanks. There is mobile coverage, not much, but we are not isolated. We saw no rubbish containers either above or below.
Several spaces; the last plateau is the most hidden from the road. A spot in nature by the sea. There was no wind for us in the rooftop tent, and we were alone. An incredible sunrise. Very peaceful, with no disturbance. Remember to pick up or hide your toilet paper!
Very beautiful spot facing the sea. Slightly windy, but the sound of the waves will lull you to sleep! There are two terraces, each accommodating about two vans.
The slope is impossible if you are carrying a lot of weight. The upper parking area is very good for spending one night. You can hear a little traffic. Otherwise, it is peaceful.
Great spot. Actually very quiet—you can of course hear the sea. The approach is at the limit of what is suitable for a 4x4 and should definitely be checked on foot first. In my opinion, vehicles over 6 m are not possible. Rear-wheel drive is an advantage on the way back up. Check the weather forecast.
Wonderful spot with 180 degree sea view, at night absolutely quiet besides the noise of the waves. Road above hardly audible and not much frequented anyway end of September. No infrastructure besides rubbish bin, so bring water and food and treasure this place, so they don’t put up a „no camping“ sign one day! We had 4G and good connection with our mobiles.
