Playa de Mojácar is a long stretch of coastline on the Costa de Almería, with plenty of space to spread out along the sand. A seafront promenade runs beside the beach, good for a long walk along the water's edge, and lifeguards are on duty in season. The water is clear, with a few natural rocky patches along the shore.

Bars, restaurants and chiringuitos line the seafront, so a morning of sunbathing turns easily into lunch or a cold drink by the sea. The area is lively without feeling crowded, with a laid-back coastal feel.

Behind the beach, the white village of Mojácar Pueblo sits high on the hill, with narrow, winding streets and a history shaped by its Moorish past. From its terraces you can look down over the coastline and the sea.
