Best beaches in Murcia,Bolnuevo- Percheles-Calnegre

Bolnuevo - Percheles-Calnegre, off road

This is wild, stunning coastline at its' best and the run from Bolnuevo along to Calnegre can be done via a rough dirt track, with a succession of secluded bays, rocky beaches , little hidden coves and finally, huge, wide open beaches that stretch as far as the eye can see.

If you love natural, beautiful places, this is for you, but there's not  a beachcomber for miles around and you won't find a man selling iced lollies without a long drive.

None of these beaches are suitable for disabled access, although those with poor mobility could walk straight from the car to the beach at the Percheles end.

This run of coastline is accessed from a rough, bumpy dirt road, which runs along for several kilometres, around 12 km.

A 4 x 4 is not required, although its not a good idea to take a treasured sports car or low suspension model on the road, and the track could be pretty unpleasant after the rains.

 The scenery is stunning, peppered with old fishing cottages, and there is a huge choice of rocky bays, sandy coves, and secluded corners to bathe privately, even in the busy summer period.

The area is open for naturist bathing, so its not uncommon to see the odd gleaming white buttock or two sticking out of the sea, but the area is so enormous, you can stop anywhere you choose and be as private, or as public, as you want.

There are absolutely no facilities, so bring everything

This really is a wonderful place for those who want to just get away from it all and be at one with nature. Its also very popular with local cyclists, especially the mountainbikers who can off-road as much as they like, or stay on road, and in some places that's just as bad as being off road.

 Its also a gorgeous place to walk on a summers evening with stunning views and sea breezes.

To access from Bolnuevo- drive along the seafront, past the famous erosions, and just keep going. The road winds off up to the left, past a series of residential villas, then curves sharply past a stunning bay with vibrant red rock walls and off along the coast.

From the other end it is a simple run along the old  main road to Aguilas, turning off at the turning for Canades de Gallega, then staying to the left. Go past a few tomato greenhouses and you will see  tracks heading off down to the left, which take you down to the beaches. Don't panic if you think you've missed the turning as there are many turnings all along on the left, right through the village and all along out the other side, all of which end up down on the beach.

 

Percheles, click the link for map

We have put the link on Percheles so you can see Bolnuevo along the coast. The road we are talking about runs all the way along here between the two, right along next to the beach, and then carries on through Percheles all the way to Calnegre. There are many places that you can cut through to main roads and pick up the track. In the summer a big beach electromusic festival called Electromar is held down on this beach at Percheles and goes on all night.
