      Mónsul is a 400-meter-long beach surrounded by rock formations of volcanic origin on its sides and by an immense dune of fine sand at its back. The beach faces south and the entrance gap to the water is very progressive, which makes it ideal for children. The water is transparent and being shallow, it feels warm. It is highly recommended to take diving goggles to snorkel and see the fish that surround us. The sand is fine and golden, very tasty and pleasant, although it is difficult to shake it off when you go to get in the car. We advise protecting electronic devices such as telephones and cameras because this grit gets everywhere.



      The great Dune of Mónsul is an almost obligatory visit for bathers because from above you have a splendid view of the beach and the landscape that surrounds it, fields and mountains without any vestige of buildings or electrical cables. If you decide to climb it, especially in summer, don't forget your flip-flops, the sand burns a lot and halfway up our feet will burn.

        Playa Cala de Mónsul in Andalusia is, along with Playa de Los Genoveses, one of the most beautiful natural beaches in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park.

        It appears in numerous films and commercials and is part of the Costa de Almería in the Níjar area.

        The isolated natural beach of Playa Cala de Mónsul near Playa de Los Genoveses is 300 m long and 45 m wide and is one of the most famous beaches in the region and is generally well frequented. It is located 4 km from San José.

        Nothing disturbs the wild natural beauty of Playa Mónsul. A beauty that charmed directors like Steven Spielberg, who shot "Indiana Jones" and "The Last Crusade" here and elsewhere in the province of Almería. So you will only find wastepaper baskets and have to bring your own food and drinks. The beach is cleaned regularly.
