Mazarrón beaches: Cala de Leño, nudist beach


Mazarrón beaches: Cala de Leño, nudist beach

This is the fourth in a run of designated nudist beaches in Mazarrón

One of 33 beaches which are to be found along the 35-kilometre coastline of Mazarrón between the municipalities of Cartagena and Lorca, Playa de la Grua is the fourth official nudist beach reached by the 12-kilometre track which winds along the coast from Bolnuevo through the Sierra de Moreras to Puntas de Calnegre.

This little beach is very much home from home for local nudists, and is the preferred venue for those in the know who have made it into a little oasis. Access is easier than at the beaches which come before it, but those who don´t know the area tend to stop off at the first nudist beaches they encounter without realising this one is just around the corner.

Nudists tend to come back here year after year and have planted trees around the back of the beach to give themselves a little more shade and really make themselves at home down here.

The beach is slightly better than the others in the run and is sandier, with pebbly rough sand. It is 100 metres long by 12 metres wide.

This is a popular beach for bathing as there is a sandy bottom to the little bay, and the posidonia meadows which run along this coastline are set slightly further out.

There are no services.

The run of wild beaches in Mazarrón

Mazarrón is blessed with an extraordinary range of beaches, with everything from wide sandy urban beaches with a full list of catered services to rocky coves, dog beaches, nudist beaches and long wild swathes of sand.

Between Bolnuevo and Percheles the coast is wild and stunning, and the run of beaches from be accessed only via a rough dirt track on foot or by bicycle, with a succession of secluded bays. From 1st July 2017 most of the track has been closed to motor vehicles and the only access is via cycle or on foot.

If you love natural, beautiful places, this is for you, but there’s not a beachcomber for miles around and you won’t find anyone selling ice lollies!

None of these beaches are equipped with special disabled access, although once the coastline reaches Percheles and Cañada de Gallego it is possible to walk out of the car and straight onto the sand/shingle. Here the coastline is accessed from a rough, bumpy road which runs along for around 12 kilometres.

If you’re the type of person who loves to get away from the crowds and appreciates wild beauty, then you’ll love this stretch and never want to go anywhere else.

The stunning scenery is peppered with abandoned ruins, 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 favoured by naturist bathing, so it’s not uncommon to see the odd gleaming bronzed buttock or two, and a couple of the nudist beaches are also very popular with the gay community. But the area is so large that it is always possible to steer away if you choose: you can stop anywhere and be as private, or as public, as you want.

There are absolutely no facilities, so bring everything and remember to take litter home.

It’s also very popular with local cyclists, especially the mountain-bikers, and walkers have many options, particularly on a summer evening with stunning views and sea breezes.

Access

From Bolnuevo, drive along the seafront, past the wind-eroded rocks to the end of the road next to Playa del Rincón, where limited parking is available. From here, the beaches can only be accessed on foot or by bicycle.

From Puntas de Calnegre and Cañada de Gallego, just keep the sea on your right! There are many dust tracks from the road and the tomato plantations to the coast.
