About this place
Cala Morena sits near El Portús, a small coastal village on Murcia's Mediterranean coast, just south of Cartagena. Despite the address placing it in Comunidad Valenciana administratively, you're firmly in Murcia's dramatic shoreline territory — a stretch where rugged hills meet deep blue water and clothing-optional beaches have been the quiet norm for decades. This appears to be a small-scale naturist accommodation rather than a full resort complex, likely offering simple lodging near one of the area's clothing-optional coves. El Portús itself is known for its naturist-friendly beach, a pebbly crescent backed by low scrub and popular with Spanish and northern European visitors who prefer Spain's less-developed corners. The region doesn't have the high-rise sprawl of Costa del Sol; instead you get fishing villages, naval history from Cartagena, and a coastline that feels more Greek island than package holiday. Accommodations in this category typically offer basic rooms or studio apartments, outdoor space for sunbathing, and proximity to the beach rather than on-site pools or dining. You're here for the cove, the quiet, and the relaxed vibe that comes with a naturist community that's been using these beaches since the 1970s. Summer brings steady traffic; spring and autumn offer warm water and elbow room.

Who visits
Visitor mix not well-documented — typically draws European naturists seeking Spain's quieter Mediterranean corners, with a likely mix of German, Dutch, Belgian, and Spanish regulars. El Portús beach itself attracts couples and solo travelers more than families, given the pebbly access and lack of amenities. Expect a laid-back, low-key crowd.
How to find it
Located in El Portús, about 15 km south of Cartagena via the RM-332 coastal road. The village is small; follow signs toward the beach and look for Pasaje el Portus. Parking near the beach can be tight in July and August. Coordinates place you very close to the naturist cove itself.
Things to watch out for
Beach is pebbly, not sand — water shoes help. Summer gets hot and shadeless; bring sun protection. Off-season, some local services close. If booking accommodation, confirm availability and what's included — smaller properties may have minimal on-site facilities.

Benissa Playa naturista
Benissa Playa naturista is a clothing-optional beach tucked into the rugged Costa Blanca coastline of Alicante province. The beach sits within a string of small coves that characterize this stretch of the Valencian coast, where rocky headlands frame intimate pockets of sand and pebble. It's officially recognized by the Federación Española de Naturismo, which means naturism is legally protected here—no fines, no harassment. Like many Spanish naturist beaches, you'll find a mixed crowd depending on the season. Peak summer brings textile tourists who may or may not notice the clothing-optional status, while spring, fall, and weekday mornings draw a more committed naturist crowd who appreciate the quieter atmosphere. The Costa Blanca has long been a naturist-friendly region, with several recognized beaches within a short drive, so regulars often beach-hop depending on wind and waves. Access is typically on foot from roadside parking or via the coastal walking trail that links the coves around Benissa. The setting is quintessential Mediterranean—clear water, rocky edges good for snorkeling, and that particular quality of light that makes the Spanish coast so popular with northern Europeans. Don't expect facilities or beach bars at the sand itself; this is a natural cove rather than a serviced resort beach.

Cala de El Ambolo
Cala de El Ambolo is a clothing-optional cove tucked into the rocky coastline near Jávea (Xàbia), a resort town on Spain's Costa Blanca in the Valencia region. Officially recognized by the Federación Española de Naturismo, the beach sees a fluid mix of naturist and textile visitors depending on the season and time of week. Mornings and the shoulder months of May, June, and September tend to draw the most dedicated naturist crowd, while high summer weekends bring a broader tourist mix. The cove itself is small and pebbly, framed by low cliffs and Mediterranean scrub. Water clarity is excellent when conditions are calm, making it popular with snorkelers. There's no built infrastructure—no beach bar, no sunbed rentals—so you'll want to bring everything you need for the day. Access is on foot, typically via a coastal path or from the nearest roadside parking area, and the walk can be steep and uneven in places. Spain's relaxed attitude toward nudity at recognized beaches means you won't face fines or hassle from authorities here, but the vibe can shift depending on who else shows up. If you're after a reliably naturist scene, aim for a weekday morning outside of peak tourist season. The setting is beautiful—classic Mediterranean coastline with clear water and a quiet, low-key atmosphere when you catch it right.

Calpe playa naturista
Calpe playa naturista is a clothing-optional beach tucked along the dramatic coastline of Calpe, in Spain's Comunidad Valenciana. Officially recognized by the Federación Española de Naturismo, it's one of several naturist-friendly spots dotting the Costa Blanca, though it sees mixed use—naturists and textile beachgoers share the space, with the balance shifting by season and time of day. Mornings and the shoulder months (May, June, September, October) tend to draw the most dedicated naturist visitors, while high summer weekends see a more varied crowd. Spain's generally relaxed attitude toward beach nudity means you won't face fines or harassment at recognized sites like this one, though the tourist-heavy nature of Calpe means you'll occasionally share the sand with curious onlookers. Access is typically on foot from nearby parking areas or via the coastal trail that winds along this stretch of the Mediterranean. The beach itself is modest in size—expect a small cove rather than a sprawling strand—with the typical rockier profile common to this part of the Spanish coast. It's not the most pristine or remote naturist beach in the region, but it's a practical option if you're staying in or around Calpe and want to spend a clothing-free afternoon by the sea without driving far afield.
