Los Escullos Beach

← Beaches
48 km from Alhama

An open sand-and-gravel shore beside sculpted fossil dunes, with Los Frailes rising on the horizon.

Los Escullos combines beach, geology and scenery. The pale formations along the shore are ancient fossil dunes carved by wind and sea into smooth platforms and ledges. The volcanic outline of Los Frailes stands in the distance.

Sand, gravel and rocky stretches alternate, with good underwater visibility in calm conditions.
