Great location, inaccessibility is part of its charm so its self-selective in who goes there. We brought an umbrella/tent for shade and most people did likewise. Also, beware of mobile phone coverage ... we're 20 km from Morocco across the dea but the beach is sheltered from Spanish telco networks so if you don't switch off roaming you could be faced with a hefty bill as a surprise when you get home. We've been to this been a few times over the years, always plan to go back.

As all the other reviews have mentioned, access is a bit difficult but it was well worth it. Make sure you take whatever you need: towels, water, alcohol, umbrellas. Very very hot!

What a superb beach! On our own for over an hour, then only another 12 or so turned up. Clean immaculate sand, crystal clear water, freedom of naturism without fear - in a word FANTASTIC!

One of the best beaches that I ever been. Absolutely love this place, quite, peaceful. The view from the top of the hill is just breath taking. Hopefully it stays like this, with nothing around, just wild.

Stunningly gorgeous panoramas of the beach atop the high cliffs above make for a surreal experience.

Maybe the beach is a little bit hidden and not that easy to reach but just that makes this bay maybe the best beach of tarifa/bolonia. Absolutely a must go. Even if that means a 20 minutes walk through the forest.

Excellent virgin beaches, since it is located in a military land. Access from Punta Caamarinal, with spectacular views from the Straingth of Gibraltar and Africa. The best time to go is with Poniente wind rather than Levantes, unless this is not strong

Nice alternative to the larger beaches, and depending on wind, an option for the surfers... This beach is a bit like the one in Point Break, where they do not appreciate newcomers !! No, I am taking the pi.. although this seems to attract a lot of the seasoned visitor, and they used to have an open air disco club on Saturdays, called explorer, which is fab, if it still exist...

Hola! Siempre voy a esta cala con mi pateja y me gustaria saber como esta la cosa ahora en julio para ir. Esta abierta? Ya que he escuchado que cerraron varias playas y calas en esa zona.

Si están abiertas todas. Lo peor como siempre aparcar. Te recomiendo que mires en windguru si va a hacer levante o mucho viento. Mejor entonces no ir. Vete temprano para coger sitio. Yo he estado ahora del lunes 13 a miércoles 16. Aunque me tuve que venir antes por eso, por el levante. Imposible, es como si se te clavaran agujas en los pies.

Hola. ¿Se puede hacer nudismo en toda la playa o los nudistas tenemos un sitio marcado? Si no está marcado ¿hay una zona de la playa donde suelan congregarse más nudistas? Gracias
