We recommend that you enjoy firsthand the spectacular sunsets, and if at any time possible, try to also catch one of its beautiful sunrises. If you go to Mojácar with your partner, the visit to Macenas beach at night will be especially romantic.
You may not find many people sunbathing in this small cove of Mojácar, because it is a rocky beach area with deep dips in the sea, with very little space. In fact, unlike the previous beaches, you will not find services, but perhaps this is what makes this beach in Mojácar, one of the most attractive in the whole of Almeria: it is spectacular for the beauty of the place, and for many, the most beautiful in the area.
Also known as Cala del Pirulico, you can get there from Macenas beach. Passing the aforementioned tower, a few meters away you will find this beautiful cove.

From there the views are unbeatable: the beauty of the environment, added to the islet (rock) that you will find in the middle of the water, will give you the urge to take the camera from your backpack and snap away.
It is also considered by many to be one of the best hidden beaches, we assure you, it is well worth visiting it.
Once past the beaches of Cantal and Macenas, you will reach two beautiful coves, Puente del Santo and Bordenares. But after this last one, you will also be surprised by the peculiar Playa del Sombrerico.
That is three magnificent options for swimming and sunbathing, perfect for a relaxing day at the beach.
Especially popular as a meeting point for deep sea divers and snorkelers, they are also spectacular which is what has made them the focus of the most prestigious filmmakers: Orson Welles chose these three beaches as very prominent locations in his film Treasure Island.
Perhaps between them, Bordenares is the one with the most complicated to access, and that is why its overcrowding is especially non-existent during the twelve months of the year.
In all three cases, bathers are offered a bare minimum of services according to the small size of the beaches, they are basically the option of renting umbrellas and sunbeds.
