Levante Beach and the Cabo de Palos coves
Levante Beach is the village beach: fine sand, a gentle slope, views of the lighthouse and La Manga, and a shallow stretch ideal for children. Around the cape runs a chain of rocky coves — Cala Fria by the lighthouse, Cala Tunez, Cala Flores — with transparent water and the best free-access snorkelling in the area.
