Cala del Ave María

Cala del Ave María is a wild, unspoilt cove tucked into the volcanic coastline of the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park, where you drop anchor off a secluded beach with no facilities and no crowds. The dramatic rocky headlands and crystal-clear water make it one of those spots that feels genuinely off the beaten track. It sits close to the peak of Cerro del Ave María, and is just along the coast from the famously beautiful Playa de los Genoveses, making this stretch of Almería coastline well worth exploring.
