- 717jane19Hixon, United Kingdom15 contributionsSecluded spot worth a visitDefinitely worth a visit. There are several options on paths down to the beach, all requiring sensible footwear. Carry what you need because one of the lovely things about this beach is (depending on your preferences!) the lack of buildings, facilities etc. There is zilch. Just wonderful (in my opinion) crystal clear water and secluded beach. The location is at odds with its name; The Beach of Dead Bodies, so-called because the naturally converging currents meant in days of old, the bodies of shipwrecked sailors would wind up here. We didn’t swim (February water way too cold!) but the spring sunshine made this a warm and glorious find for a picnic and paddle amongst the rock pools. The beach shelves sharply and deeply with beautiful clear waters but I wouldn’t want toddlers and young children going in for a paddle unsupervised! Other reviewers have mentioned the ugly industrial zone to the left as you approach the beach. It’s not that bad and quickly forgotten as you turn right to walk along the beach and is soon out of sight.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 February 2024

Deserted pebble beach with crystal clear waters and wild deer on the surrounding slopes. But in one direction is some sort of cement works blighting the view. You need sturdy walking boots to get down to the beach and back.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 7 February 2024
- PanittaDüsseldorf, Germany22 contributionsWalk to the right for shallow and cristal clear water - kids friendly as well as snorklerDefinitely walk passed the shaped rock! The water there is much calmer and clearer. Perfect for snorkeling and chilling. It‘s also pretty shallow compared to the other beach section. You’ll be able to see many fishes with you blank eyes but if you have snorkeling gears/ goggles, you should definitely bring them! Park your car at the car park and you‘re expecting a little, pretty, hike (~15 minutes), which will lead you right to the beach. Once you‘re by the beach, walk to the right - the opposite direction of the factory. Once you‘ve walked passed the big rock, you won‘t be able to see the factory anymore, which is nice.Visited May 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 26 May 2024

What a beach 😍. Lots of people in summer and on Sunday but it’s not the French Riviera either!! Paid parking (€4) about 15min of fairly easy trails, and there.... the small gravel beach that makes the sea clear. A mask and a snorkel and off we go for the aquarium!! I did a lot of beach but this one is in the top 3!! So it’s true that on the left is the huge Carboneras cement factory but it doesn’t take anything away from what’s in the water.

The water is super transparent and a turquoise blue tone; The sand is made of tiny and very pretty pebbles. It is not necessary to wear booties, although if stones bother you you can use them. We caught a little swell, but the water was still great and not dirty at all. You don't have to go very deep for it to cover. The path to go is not very complicated or very long, but I recommend not doing it during the hours with the most sun. I recommend going early to find parking, as it fills up.

Possibly one of the best beaches in the world, if the water is not moved. Turquoise, many fish, it's not sand, they're little songs that you don't even get dirty, they fall off. It is worth 4 euros parking and you have to go down a slope, and then go up...hahahaha. Failure: if they charge I understand that it is for maintenance, so someone could go down (and up) and collect plastics and trash that leave some irresponsible. I said

The best beach I've ever seen in Andalucia. The water is turquoise, like Caribbean beaches but cold. We had a very nice experience; the road seems long, but if you take the one on the left, it is shorter and in less than 10mins you are in the water.
As we climbed, the walk was very short compared to the road on the right, and that was with a 4-year-old boy.
The views from the viewpoint are also worthwhile and not as far away as it seems. I recommend visiting but wear comfortable shoes so much to walk so much to get into the water.

The beach is spectacular: crystal clear water, small stones and tranquility. It is necessary to carry escarpments and to enter the water there is a step to pay attention.
It is advised to arrive soon because the parking lot fills up immediately. If not, you have to park a little further away, a distance that adds to the road that must already be traveled. An abrupt path, which anyone with agility can overcome. In total it is about 10/15 minutes, depending on each one.
You also have to bring food and drink because there is nothing to buy there.

Walk over a cliff of 15 minutes and you get there ... from there we understood why it’s called los muertos😝 especially at the end of the day 🤪 but ... it’s worth it. Crystal clear water and fish like being in an aquarium. Recommendation to go early to look for parking and place as it is very crowded compared to other beaches. There is no sand but a bit annoying stones. Bring everything you need to eat and drink because there is nothing.

Beach with crystal clear waters, like a swimming pool, with a multitude of fish to be able to snorkel and be in the water for hours. The shore is made of small chinos, personally I did not require booties but my girls and my wife did, so if you have them, take them. For me it only has one problem, access. To go to the beach you have to go down a very steep slope with an uneven surface. As advice, it is recommended to wear sports shoes. They could put some wooden platforms to regularize access and the beach would be perfect.

Stunning beach away from everything.
Beach with crystal clear water where you can't see the end since it is very wide. You have to go down about 800m or so on foot through quite steep terrain but it is worth it just to see the beauty of this beach.
It is very wide in length and width so even though it is crowded, you don't notice it since it is very extensive.
Recommended for diving enthusiasts to also enjoy its marine fauna.
Parking at €4 which is also really good.

Alguien ha ido a la playa de los muertos en taxi barco? Donde hay que ir y el precio y horario.
Written 30 July 2020
Hola, ¿Hay aforo en la playa con todo lo del covid? ¿o se puede ir como siempre?
Written 28 July 2020
El aforo que marca el aparcamiento. Es decir, igual que siempre. Yo llegué antes de las 11 y ya estaba casi lleno el aparcamiento.

@Ninad B, I can confirm since my husband and I took the bus from Madrid to Carboneras and then caught a Taxi there and back for $12 each way. Make sure you arrange for the taxi to come pick you up at Playa de los muertos or get their phone number because there are not taxi's wwaiting to pick you up so you might get stranded otherwise! Good luck :)

Si el parking está completo se puede aparcar en algún otro sitio? Como arcén de la carretera? Gracias!
Written 13 June 2018
NO
Pero hay dos zonas de aparcamiento con lo cual hay mucho sitio, pero ya se sabe que en plena época vacacional o vas temprano o no consigues nada!!
